I think its getting a bit tedious now everytime you want to log in/sign in/download an app etc all you get is fill in this or that, phone numbers the lot. Load of old toss.

"By clicking here you are allowing us to access this that and the other".

"To use this app we need to know your location" Eh? Why? It doesn`t require you to know where I bloody am.

"By clicking yes we send your details to selected partners" (aye right!)

"By agreeing to this we can pollute you with emails and $hit"

"Accept the terms and conditions and you get a host of other $hite you neither need nor want"

"100% free trial".................BANG! Fill in your life details. Even if you go down the FCUKOFF@NOWAY.COM there`s usually a mention of sending something to your door like a magic key. That was one I laughed at a few years back for a FREE Credit check with a reputable company.


Absolutely nosey prying ba$tards. You read something and at the bottom it says `No need to register` and think, I`d like to add a comment. Then its, "we want to look into every part of your life" etc etc AFTER you`ve typed the bloody thing out.

`It must be true, I read in on the internet`. Yep, thats right. How much duff info is out there folks? Its a bit like gossip. There`s some invaluable info to be had but there`s some poorly written and unsubstantiated dross out there as well. Don`t ever dare to type in `sore foot` or pain in elbow`. Chances are its cancer, HIV or rabies. Possibly worse. Same goes for car related stuff. Power steering fluid a bit dirty? Probably your big ends are away or its mixing with the air conditioning gas and there`s a chance your passengers are being poisoned.

Yep, must be right because that`s from a YAHOO top contributor with some wee stars next to their name.

Facebook/Twitter zzzzzzzzzzz. Like this like that, like my page. Be my friend. WTF? Be my friend? Must be the lamest thing ever. Oh, Tiffany has 734 `friends`. That`ll be 730 that couldn`t give a $hit about her in real life then eh?

I have a Nokia Lumia 920. Best ever thing in the world there last year. Now apparently its rubbish. I can tell you this. It was rubbish when i got it. They`re all rubbish as far as I`m concerned. Somebody rings its a carry on to actually get to hear them. Swiping things and confirming you actaully want to answer the call. Turning the volume down as you hold it or hanging up with your ear on the latest `touch screen` Before you used to hit a green button and spoke and a red one to stop. Toys for schoolgirls with no pubes to be honest. Kinda matters to kids what `model` they have so they can find their place in the pecking order of show off gadgets. They can do nearly everything but keep a charge for a few days or make a phone call. Sending a text now requires fingers like cocktail sticks to use the $hitty miniscule keyboard (which corrects your slang words and sends stuff you didn`t want sending) Still the same old toss. "hello, hello?, I can`t hear anything.............nope nothing, BEEP BEEP BEEP". Or "sorry this mobile phone is switched off" "Network Unavailable" Two bean cans and a bit of string would be more useful some of the time. Anyway. Women never answer them first time. Its always `in their bag` and they couldn`t get to it in time. Or I never heard it I was hoovering. Or maybe its just cos women have no pockets. Great eh?. Oh look, its frozen again. I`m a right wally i forgot to `update my software`.
Apple iphone7 can`t bluetooth a picture to my Nokia or samdung interGalactic as they`re `not compatible` They were all F**king compatible 10 years ago.



Anyway, I have to go. I have a small spot on my arm. I think its the start of a flesh eating bug from Bolivia. (Netdoctors .com)

Good rant... could've done with a bit more swearing a, but good to hear you 'gie it laldy'....

I agree, most modern tech and social media is a pain in the behind, but unfortunately a necessary evil for many..

Agreed, it's a new realm of bullish*t. I had a mate who worked at a phone shop and would always switch and change contracts for the latest most expensive phone and then 6 months later it would be 'old'. All i want on a phone is to be able to make emergency calls. I'm a meet up in person to catch up type person, and use text to arrange meetups. I often laugh to myself when i see groups of people sat around not interacting with eachother but instead using their phones. WTF. though i do wish there was one place people would act like that... cinema's! People manage to still use a cinema as an area to catch up for 2 hours. STFU! There was a good documentary on Channel 4 Dispatches about social media and how it's manipulated, here's the link below. I can't remember where i came across something similar but it was a study showing that actually, with social media, we now have fewer friends than ever. It looked at what was considered a friend etc, how much time we have and what friends do, and the fact that most people spent more of their time interacting with people who are nothing more than acquaintances, taking time away from being able to actually be a friend to someone you consider a friend. Very interesting stuff.

On the phone note, the only thing i do find good about a smartpphone is the picture quality has much improved. My SingSong Intergalactic is on par with my canon point and shoot. You can change settings such as light balance, exposure etc. Saves me carrying around 2 devices. The only benefit to the canon is it's 3.5 optical zoom whereas the intergalactic is digital zoom only, but 3.5x zoom has never been much use as you get about the same by walking a few steps closer.
