There are 2 new technological “innovations,” if you want to call them that, which I have zero interest in and I’ll tell ya why.

1. Twitter

Just the name alone is super lame. Even lamer though, are people who are like, “Yeah, I updated my Twitter.” or “Follow me on Twitter.” There are an overwhelming amount of social networking sites, which I believe are achieving the antithesis of their goal. We are becoming more plugged into the computer, not each other. We are losing communication skills, not gaining them. Twitter is just one more unappealing, poorly named social fad that I’m just not getting into.

2. Blu-ray

What the hell is this? We just get accustomed to DVDs, VHS is officially obsolete; rather than just enjoy the DVD format and all its amenities, it’s onto Blu-Ray. Well, you know what? Fuck Blu-ray! Until I find a compelling reason to bypass DVDs (like the freezing up when the disc is scratched), no Blu-Rays for me. I don’t even want to know what they are or how they work – I don’t care! It just sounds like another fly-by-night gadget of waste, like the laser disc or HD radio
