Aladdin's Lamp

All this technology we use - cell phones, computers, i-this and e-that - they're all just tools.  And, I feel my blood pressure rising (okay, you can't really feel that) whenever there's a momentary glitch or problem in whatever piece of technology I'm using.  The thing is supposed to work. What does it mean it can't communicate/send/download/upload or otherwise do something with this bit of information?   How dare it?   I can see it.   It's right there.

Interesting, that. The thing that is supposed to make our lives easier, faster, more efficient or whatever superlative it's supposed to perform, now stands between us and the object of our interest.  Has the genii turned on us?
