Context? CVI

A topic of discussion on a BBC Radio talk show caught my attention tonight.  The host asked listeners how they responded when "technology said, 'No,' to you."

I wish I could respond that I said nothing stronger than, "Oh, well."  I wish I could say I reflected on how lucky I am to be able to communicate and complete numerous tasks so coveniently, thanks to today's technology.  I wish I could honestly report that I just shrugged and said, "It's not the end of the world.  Usually, this computer (or other device) works just fine for me.  Today's glitch is a rare exception."

I know myself better than that, alas.
