Hard disks have disappointed me more than most technologies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When CD technology first came out, it was just so much waste.
I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.
It's much harder these days as a start-up to do physical devices.
Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.
There are technologies you couldn't predict at all when I started.
Digital data are more fragile than printed material.
I don't know if I've owned a piece of technology that I hated - I don't think I would have owned it then.
'Discworld' is taking something that you know is ridiculous and treating it as if it is serious, to see if something interesting happens when you do so.
Electronic books are junk.
I favor pocket-sized hard drives that travel between home and office, syncing with computers on both ends.
