The Future Looks Annoying
Valleywag had a nice post about seven things that bother us about the future. I won’t steal the thunder from Valleywag (read it here), but here are the seven things they have pointed out:
- Cellphones on planes
- Animated billboards
- Aggressive in-car GPS
- Camera-wearing freaks
- Even more iPods
- Traffic cameras
- Energy-saving wonks
Having weighed the positives and negatives of cellphones on planes, I would side with Valleywag. I wouldn’t want to sit next to someone who is going to be on the phone even 10% of a flight… and once multiple people start talking, it’ll be very loud.
As for the iPods, I didn’t expect them to be on this list. Valleywag makes the point that it’s annoying to see so many people wearing the ear buds. I understand that point… but I’d take them off this list.
Read the article, it’s amusing.
