I love technology...but too much is like not enough.

I just want a cell phone to us a basic calls (read E-calls) and get my music in it. Ipod would have been great with music and basic phone - not a fan of flip phones). Why do we have to have the zillions things in it (trying to fit a computer on a 3'' screen anyway) at a very high cost with high plans almost mandatory (at least for Canada). Why can't we get a simple phone at a decent price?

Why do we have to get a clothes washing machine or dishwashers that has so many different options? Anyway, I always use basically the same setting on most loads.

Even tv and their attachments...way too much for me. Heck! Even my alarm clock is a challenge to move back/forward the time on it! Dah!

I don't mind using it...if someone else sets it for me (like TV with Roku, with our intelligent cable box, name it). If hubby was not here I would not have a third of the stuff as it is too much for my head too.

Ah ... we bought a new Canon wi-fi printer when I got injured in January so I could send the medical papers to my insurance, etc. Our high-end printer does only print. But it worked for about a month on wi-fi. Now...it refuses to work without the USB cable. I tried removing, uninstalling, reinstalling, getting new software, name it... wi fi is active on the printer but all our machines (computers, iphone, ipad, etc.) are not seeing it. Works only with cable. Grrrr So I gave up. So much for technology.
