Technology is a wonderful thing. Like opposable thumbs and language, it separates us from the animals. It’s also often way more fun than opposable thumbs and language. With technology, we have advanced far beyond the hunter/gatherer tribes we started off as, exploring vast oceans and empty space. But not all technology is great. Some of it…well, some of it just plain sucks. Here’s a list of technological advancements we could’ve done without. Some of them were simply before their time, but most of them were terrible in one way or the other.

Whenever feeling down, sometimes the best thing is to just let all the sadness and/or anger out in one go, crying until it hurts your eyes, and then having a little sleep that usually makes it all better.

Online Quiz: What Kind Of Facebook User Are You?

I remember when I was a teenager and used to take vacations with my friends. We used to buy bus tickets and go to a theme park or some kind of out of city event. Our group was a mix of boys and girls, and the difference in how each sex prepared was pretty obvious. Us boys would be lucky if we remembered to bring sunscreen lotion or water, while the girls had enough supplies to ride out the apocalypse. So while we sat on the bus for hours, the boys didn’t have anything to do but stare at the back of the seats, while the girls had a library of women magazines. On one trip, out of sheer boredom, I took some of the quizzes. They were actually kind of fun. I found out who my perfect boyfriend is (the bad boy) and whether I am a prude or a slut (I’m apparently kind of slutty….but only for the bad boy.) I learned something new about myself. Recently I did an article about the different kind of Facebook users, and in the spirit of women magazines everywhere, here is a quiz about what kind of Facebook user you are.
