Technophobia..?

3 12 2007

There are some gadgets/technologies that scare me and sometimes I wonder, I wish there was something of this kind, or why isn’t it invented yet?? So what are we waiting for? Let’s start! ;)

Gadgets/Technologies that Scare Me:

S When I’m online for too long in front of my PC, I sometimes worry if the monitor may blow up on my face (same applies for my mobile phone too) :(

S While having a hot shower, I look up at the electric water heater and think, Hey! Is dat a leak? Is the heater gonna burst? Will the boiling water be all over me? Will I be able to get out or how will I be rescued?

S Umm.. The Blow Dryer.. It blows my hair dry; will there be a day when it emits fire instead of hot air and eventually char my hair out? :-o

S Well this is classic.. And I guess can be listed among the fears of a majority. What if your using someone else’s toilet & later it wont flush? Let’s make it a bit scarier. N there’s no water in the pipes to fill out the tank or umm u know, whatever! What will you do? :D . Panic Strikes! I’ve seen this happening to someone and since then have added it to my list. Prevention is better than cure, so if being in a situation like this is gonna scare u, check everything before u use some1 else’s toilet ;)

[God forbid all of the above happening to any1, be it your best friend or your best enemy :) ]

Gadgets/Technologies I wish there were:

S Lotta things go missing at home and I do not find them at the right time. Sometimes they are found at places where I’d least expect them to be and that too after the purpose is served. Or when I enter the kitchen and don’t find something I need I think, Sigh! Wish we had a Home Edition of Google Search Engine! Or maybe something handy like a pager, which when u type in the item denotes the position where it is within Ur house, office etc. [GOOGLE, r u listening? This could be Ur next big business ;) ]

S Bluetooth in digital cameras: I guess this is currently under production, but don’t u think we need them badly? Imagine u n somebody else clicking the same picture but that person has a better shot? Or you have a camera n ur friend has a mobile phone (or vice versa) and he wants the pic u just captured. N u say, “Sure! I’ll mail it to you after I connect my cam to the Comp”?? This would sound like ages if we all had Bluetooth enabled digital cams with us. Companies, Speed up the production please.. There are people like me waiting for them :) [Kindly excuse my ignorance incase they are already out ;) ]

I’m sure there r quite a few gadgets that I’ve missed out while typing this, the lists will be updated as and when I recollect them :)
