Technology these days is insanely complicated and I just don’t understand it at all. First of all, I think Bluetooth is black magic. I mean how do you pair to devices and have them connected as long as they are close to each other. Wifi hurts my head thinking about it honestly. I really try not to think about the amazing things technology can do these days if I want some sleep. Even the simplest things which we have been able to do for a long time, like landline phones, makes me wonder if it is voodoo magic. The fact they can send voices through copper wires and stuff is absurd to me. I am sure there is a way to find out the answers to all my problems by watching a video on youtube, but to be completely honest, sometimes not knowing how things work is, favorable. Yes, it would be good to know, but I feel like if I knew what was happening to make something work (like Bluetooth), that’s all I would think about when Bluetooth is around me, further clouding my brain. Technology is simply amazing and I am glad I have it.
