Every waking day of every waking use of the devices I have, I find myself constantly fighting a lot with the shitty input and recognition of said input. Things I swore I clicked once but having to click twice or sometimes three times. Such lag input between the last time I clicked and to the time the function of whatever I had to click fucking functioned.

With phones it is obviously worse, with finger input being either too sensitive or too dulled to register, inquiring more touches just to get somewhere or to type something, along with the separated frustrations aside trying to type on awful keyboard interfaces.

Edit:

For clarification’s sakes, people are bringing up old computers and how you’ve had to go extra steps to make it work. That’s not what I’m talking about and I thought I had made it clear as possible.

I’m talking about with the way things have been with technology over the past 15 years. You would think with all of the millions and billions that get invested into making things snazzy, crisp and shiny, that they would function similarly. Except, no, things got lots of wrenches thrown into their design phases to make them laggy, drag and otherwise shitty.

Phones, Tablets, Site Interfaces .etc

    I say it every day: “Nothing works any more.”

    You pay for an item, and you get the absolutely least quality they can get away with. Customer service is disappearing quickly. Now it’s like “Here’s your thing, you got your thing, why are you still here, go away.”

    Like my son says: “America is getting dumber and meaner.”

      Customer service has been relegated to AI chat prompts, HUBs and automated servicing that don’t cover all of the problems you may have.

      It’s just extra steps of extra steps.
