(Please note that you are always welcome to submit questions for our long-neglected Tuesday feature, WTF, in which we bravely attempt to scrape together some kind of humorous response to whatever questions you pose. Send your questions to wtf@techcurmudgeon.info.)
So, without further ado, here are our questions and The Tech Curmudgeon’s responses.
- Us
- So why did you start The Tech Curmudgeon blog?
- TTC
- No idea. Next.
- Us
- You started this blog ten years ago. What’s changed?
- TTC
- With the blog? Well, it was originally all text, but we added a graphite feed early on, so there are pictures now. Beside that, I guess we’ve gotten so desparate for ideas we’ve broadened the scope to include … well, anything.
- Us
- So do you have any particular goals for your writing?
- TTC
- Writing? I don’t think of this as writing. I just think about stuff, and jot down anything that strikes me as interesting or funny.
- Us
- We noticed you use ellipses alot. Why is that?
- TTC
- I … don’t … know.
- Us
- Why Tech Curmudgeon?
- TTC
- Although the technology industry keeps coming up with exciting breakthroughs, I’m very judgemental about some of the practices I
see. I think companies race to get gadgets and software out the door without adequately testing. And consumers jump on the
bandwagon for any trendy product, regardless of what it does to their lives. I see families in restaurants where everyone, adults
and kits, is riveted by some glowing screen. Nobody talks.
Besides, I sometimes think of myself as a curmudgeon. You know, like the old guy yelling out his front window, “Hey, you kids! Get off of my Wi-Fi!!”
