I can’t be alone thinking that everything in the world has become a little or a lot frustrating can I?

I love technology which won’t be a shock to many but I am beginning to hate it too as instead of getting better it so often gets worse or one is forced to upgrade to the next thing as older versions are not compatible.

Take WiFi for example. It enables wireless connections and allows one to stream music, connect cameras, browse the internet and do a plethora of other things and its great when it works but it is a bore when it stops working or has a weak signal. As with so many modern systems the tech is advancing faster than our providers upgrade the infrastructure to meet demand. Oh but they still take your money even though the service deteriorates. Every home should have fibre to the house by now but no we are left floundering on low bandwidths that can’t cope.

Since Covid customer services (or they should be renamed inconvenient user non-services) have become a joke. One is kept hanging online for beard-growing lengths of time only to be told you’ve come through to wrong department even though you have painstakingly pressed 1 for this, 2 for that and have given over details down to which side of the bed you sleep and that is after one has spent an hour or so trying to find a contact number. Oh and don’t thing e-mailing or writing is any better as a simple question can take day/weeks to answer by which time it is often too late. Then we come to the chat bots that can’t even answer basic things without gathering half a screen of information that is irrelevant to the conversation. With all the recording and customer surveys and feedback one gives this simple art of helping customers should be exemplary but they are let down by bosses cutting staff numbers, people working from home (with access to limited information) introducing AI and generally forgetting that without custom these bosses and companies would go bankrupt.

WHO (world health organisation) has quietly been passing a bill for global authority over our health and the final vote, behind closed doors and with no debate, will be held in May 2024. If passed they will have the power to restrict movement, lock-down areas, force vaccination, do genetic manipulation, say what plants and animals can remain or not and we will be powerless to stop them. If it happens then what next forced electronic identity cards, a world central bank dictating a digital currency only, a point system where you can only do certain things and a manipulation of what you can buy (a person who eats too much or drinks too much can be rationed). It is all coming and we as a people have slept-walked into it.

To be honest I am glad I am happy with who I am. Yes I know I could talk less, be a bit less boring and try and improve on all of my shortcomings but then I would be someone else so you are stuck with the I am happy who I am guy. However, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to talk to others as it could offend their gender category, is not inline with their views (debate is slowly being eradicated as another’s view is shouted down as rubbish and then you are demonized) and its confusing to know which loo to use or whether to hold a door open or thank someone. Low and behold one actually says hello in the street.

All this madness seems petty compared to Ukraine, Israel and Korea but it certainly doesn’t help as it feels like we are on the edge of another World War and unless we change things look quite worrying and terrifying.

Religion, Money, Greed for Power and Selfishness are the root behind all of the world problems but sadly there seems nothing we can do to stop the machine from moving onward and crushing everything in its way.

But I guess with Global Warming, Climate Change and Nuclear Power Earth will shortly be a place uninhabitable by the average human and it will only be the elite few who have deep dug bunkers, rockets to speed them away or undersea palaces that will remain.

Good luck to them.
