Technology frustrations

[ezdays]

Something that's been bugging me for a long time, the computer age is great, keep in contact with the world, get thousands of answers for any question within seconds, find your way around instantly, but there's a cost to all this. Does anyone feel like venting their frustrations, irritations or general grips about today's technology that could raise your stress levels into the danger zone?

Why am I asking, well, I just turned on my laptop that's been off for a week or so, and when I tried to log onto Big Blue, I was interrupted with a message, "your subscription has expired", (to what, I haven't a clue), followed by "your virus definitions are out of date", then, "your virus app needs to be updated". Ten minutes later, I'm still not logged on, and, "Avast needs to restart your computer". There are times when I've tried to say, read my email, and I get these pop-up windows advising me that their updates are far more important than what I want to do. "We are going to restart your computer in 3-2-1...bingo and I have to wait while yet another app and Windows does it updating.
And yes, my laptop is still updating Windows 10 now so I'm back on my desktop.

That's my current grip with computers, what's yours????
