Fair and balanced - tech sucks?

Looking back at the last few entries of this blog I realized that I've been on a bit of a ranting negative tear against tech of late. Given the title of this blog that should come as no surprise to my readers (is there anybody out there?) but although I'm a pessimist I do like to through in a little positive reportage once in a while. As an ex of mine once taught me, you have to have a little balance once in a while so you can appreciate the other point of view. So, this next one is a bit more middle of the road, mostly positive, with only short and slightly dark tech-times...
