Today’s dependence on technology is a wonder.  I would consider myself to be pretty “tech-savvy”, but there are some things that I *swear* are designed to keep us as bay.  I can widget, wiki, blog, and tweet with the best of ‘em, but it took me two days to figure out how to change the time on my $3 plastic watch from Wal-Mart.  I tried it first on my own, I Googled the directions to no avail, and tried to locate the Armitron website directly for instructions, but got nowhere.  I finally play around with the stupid thing until I got the desired result but I have no idea how.  When the time changes again, I’ll be in the same boat with the same grievances. 

The technical advances of the era are marvelous, it’s true, but some things should just remain simple, uncomplicated, and “untechnical”.
