I have a current rant: let's make everything a computer (sarcasm). I struggle all day at work, throw things at my PC; the very large company I work for is constantly jamming new software, applications or security controls down my ...pc. They don't even ask; all of a sudden, it's "you must reboot". Doesn't even tell me what it did! Excuuuse me! And the Help Desk, and all my co-workers with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD, our new acronym), then next thing you know, you have to be re-imaged. And slow. Something happens at about 6pm Eastern time (I live on the west coast and work at home remotely from THE SERVER) so that Word can not pro cess this must hang can't even save. Hard down.
So! Let's make a car a computer! Let's make a simple oil change into a software download/re-image/sorry the help desk is taking other callers now.
Let's make my toaster a computer so it sings songs to me! Let's make roller skates into computers with cameras so they can film your trip down the sidewalk and e-mail it automatically to Facebook!
Let's make books into computers! I'll hold off as long as I can. I love print, paper and ink.
