Tablets

I think that tablets are trying to replace the laptop computer, offering a more portable and accessible on-the-go computer. I've never owned a tablet, so I can't get too deep with this subject. But I have used a few tablets and I personally prefer using a laptop computer over a tablet. Sure if you're on-the-go a tablet is more portable and doesn't take up as much space, but I don't like the idea of not having a keyboard. I know that the newer tablet models are starting to include keyboards, but I just think that it's less of a hassle to have a keyboard that's built in to the computer and is more practical and not awkward. I think that tablets could be the future, but for right now I'm sticking with a laptop. I just don't care too much for tablets right now and I feel like they are a bit unnecessary.

Annoying Technologies

One thing that I completely agree on is the touchless bathrooms. I can't even begin to express how annoyed I get when I walk into the a Target or Wal-Mart bathroom and I see that everything in there is touch activated. The water faucets that are touch activated are the most annoying thing in those bathrooms. Just like the article says, I can never find that damn laser that activates the water. And good luck if you like to wash your hands for more than three seconds, because that's about how long the water stays on. Another thing that annoys me with the touchless bathrooms are the inconsistencies with them. If a store is going to use laser sensors for the bathroom, they might as well use them for the entire bathroom. It seems as if the sink and paper towels will have the sensor but the toilet and the soap won't have it, or the toilet has it and the sink doesn't. It's pointless to do it this way because it just annoys people with having to wave their hands to try and get the appliances to work just to have to touch one of them regardless and come into contact with germs. That's the most annoying thing I find with technology as of right now and I know it will continue to do so.
