One of my favorite Gary Larson “Far Side” cartoons features a dog walking behind a lawnmower which has cut an erratic path through the lawn. The dog’s owner on the porch is admonishing the dog and hollering “Bad dog! You call that mowing the lawn?”.
When I complain about my technology I feel as if I’m following the example of the man on the porch: witnessing a near miracle, and complaining about its lack of perfection. All in all, it is amazing that this stuff does what it does as well as it does. Still, it sometimes feels necessary to complain.
