Every waking day of every waking use of the devices I have, I find myself constantly fighting a lot with the shitty input and recognition of said input. Things I swore I clicked once but having to click twice or sometimes three times. Such lag input between the last time I clicked and to the time the function of whatever I had to click fucking functioned.

With phones it is obviously worse, with finger input being either too sensitive or too dulled to register, inquiring more touches just to get somewhere or to type something, along with the separated frustrations aside trying to type on awful keyboard interfaces.

Edit:

For clarification’s sakes, people are bringing up old computers and how you’ve had to go extra steps to make it work. That’s not what I’m talking about and I thought I had made it clear as possible.

I’m talking about with the way things have been with technology over the past 15 years. You would think with all of the millions and billions that get invested into making things snazzy, crisp and shiny, that they would function similarly. Except, no, things got lots of wrenches thrown into their design phases to make them laggy, drag and otherwise shitty.

Phones, Tablets, Site Interfaces .etc

    You can blame the USA government for setting standards for light bulbs that planned obsolescence became a thing. They recommended to make light bulbs with filament that burns after a certain time of use to prompt more purchases of light bulbs. And that’s where everyone else got the brilliant idea to make things not last as long. As well people didn’t have the funds to buy new appliances all the time, they were still a relative luxury so if you made something that broke in a year and cost $300 back then you might have a mob with shotguns at your door.
