Dangers of Technology

At a Sacramento PC User's Group meeting (many years ago), a company was demonstrating its latest speech-recognition software. A representative from the company was just about ready to start the demonstration and asked everyone in the room to quiet down.

Just then someone in the back of the room yelled, "Format C: Return."

Someone else chimed in: "Yes, Return."

Unfortunately, the software worked.

I like it very much when jokes have more than one level! But it is hard to achieve. Some jokes are simply flat.

I did once come across a website that required you to declare you were over 16 by entering your date of birth. You couldn't type your date of birth, you had to enter it with a calendar control that only let you click forwards or backwards one month at a time and defaulted to today's date. That's a minimum of 192 clicks to reach the first "allowed to use this service" date of birth.

I decided to go elsewhere.

A boss seeks more respect and hangs a sign at his door "I am the boss!"
After lunchtime, someone added a note: "Your wife called in. She wants her sign back!"
