On the tram this morning I listened to a woman on the phone to an unknown person complaining about a streaming service she had recently tried out. It took her about 10 minutes to air all of her grievances about the app, which had reportedly stolen her money. I couldn’t hear the other end, but they must have made an inflammatory remark because after the initial rant, the woman delved back into her rage but this time directed it at technology in general. She lashed out at: the internet as a whole, smartphones, Facebook, video games, and video calls.  I wonder what made her so utterly disillusioned with all forms of modern technology. If she was older I could understand, but she only looked about 35-40. It turned out she was on her way home from an overnight shift at a hospital near me, so potentially her attitude was due to the fact that she was exhausted. After she hung up the phone she put in headphones and almost fell asleep, but came to with a start just at her stop. She looked more than slightly disoriented.
