Oh, this should be a good post. I'm using a laptop at my sons' house. So far I have chased this damn "arrow" all over the keyboard. I can't get the hang of just sliding my finger around this little tiny square while ducking a crazy cat that likes me but has decided I am swatting material. Now I know how a fly feels! Anyway back to this laptop. I spent at least 4 minutes looking for the backspace key, the enter key and how to scroll up and down without chasing this damn arrow all over the screen just to land on another tiny button/arrow to scroll. I'm not illiterate on computers but I like things I can read and see. That's why I don't own a camera phone or a laptop. Too many buttons! To the husband, buttons and knobs are a "wet dream".
I have a vacuum that you just turn on and vacuums, a stove that you TURN on and tada it cooks. If I had it my way I would have wind up windows in my truck, the dimmer switch would be a button on the floor that you just stepped on and you got brights or lows. Some of you have no idea what I'm talking about but, back in "the day" that's where the dimmer switch was. I like things that do exactly what they are suppose to.
I don't want a toothbrush that turns into a hair brush for "easy travel". I want a blender to blend and a mixer to mix. I want ONE remote for the TV!!!!! I have 3! 1 to turn it on, find a station etc, 1 to adjust and turn on the surround sound and 1 to work the DVD player!
My husbands car has buttons for everything! The other day I went to hit the blinker and suddenly the windshield wipers turned on. I try to find which side of the steering wheel the wipers were on and I hit the damn horn which caused the guy in front of me to flip me off. Mean while the wipers are slamming the dry windshield, I still can't find the blinker and now I'm suddenly on "cruise" control, which is beeping because you can't turn on cruise when the vehicle is sitting still and the car thinks I'm stupid so its beeping at me incessantly to let me know "dumb ass, dumb ass" over and over again!
At this point I just want to get out of the car, call the husband on my "hit the send button" cell phone and tell him to come get his "possessed" car. Finally, I hit something on the right side of the steering column and the wipers were off. The cruise beeper got tired of calling me "dumb ass" and shut its' self off. The light went green and I turned to go home so I could sit in my own recliner and hit three buttons for the TV and find out how many more DNA tests the "Who's my baby's daddy" show is doing today. The simple life? Where did it go?

I liked dimmer switches in the floor. I learned on my dads '69 ford truck- manual tranny, busted window, dimmer in the floor- despite the rust it was love at first sight.
