Is technology really that much functional?

"Hopeless?

No, no, no;

Baby, you left me alone!"

"Keep On Moving" - Dover

My brother and I have been laughing out loud at his cell's problems. It goes crazy with pop-ups about apps closing because of errors while we, with tears of laughter, give absurd diagnostics to it. The conclusion is that my brother's poor cell phone is suffering from sudden delirium tremens, and the issue comes to be that, unlike the human affection, this is not going to go away in a few weeks.

After throwing the hallucinating gadget to the trash and replacing it with BlueStacks for my brother to use his apps on his laptop, we had a conversation about it. As always, it was full of puns and, well, delirium tremens, but it had some actual points related to technology as well. At the end, we ended up making fun of the conspiranoia of AIs running the Earth in the future... since they would probably end up trembling with lots of hallucinations in less than a year.

But the problem is that lots of estates of our society tend to rely on these little systematically mental-pathology-suffering buggies, making it a hard thing to handle to have your cell phone suffer from weird things, which happens to be quite usual. This makes relying on technology a rather dysfunctional attitude to carry... but still a common one.

The thing is, once we rely more and more on technology, we should also be able to think of a way to escape its fatal and unavoidable end. There is a rumour which seems to be proven but sounds like a conspiranoia as well regarding a major failure in every system and program written in C language that relies in dates and hours in the year 2038.

I agree that technology provides a more efficient and, sometimes... well, rarely, reliable way of working, communicating and sharing, but it fails. From viruses created by freaks willing to see your porn to mistakes (intentional or not) made by the actual creator of your device or the program you're using, it might fail any moment, even by the time you're reading this.

No, even though it's December the 28th, this is not a joke made to introduce a super-scary virus in your computer. Well, as I said before, you could be getting a virus right now, but I can ensure it's most likely not my fault. At least, not intentionally!
