The Temptation of Technology
I’m not sure why Sandra Tsing Loh’s spiky and poignant piece about the busting up of her marriage, Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off, is making me sad. Her disenchantment with the institution at the seasoned age of 47 shouldn’t surprise me, an expert at being disappointed by the notion of happy ever after.
I’ve got the blues, for sure, from the five excruciating hours I’ve now spent on the Apple-tech support line following a visit to the “Genius Bar” at the Mac store on Sunday, resulting in two days (and counting) of a technological meltdown on my computer and iPhone.
I’m a full-fledged geek, in love with my electronics. I can’t imagine life without them. And when they fail me, I get shaky and can’t concentrate. My neck is in total lock down right now. I still can’t get email. That should teach me not to grow too dependent.

Wendy …. how frustrating for you! I hope that you can get this “glich” under control very quickly!
Whenever something like that happens to me I’m forever singing “you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone ….”
Good luck 🙂
