Technologies which DO NOT WORK AT ALL IN ANY WAY, NOT EVEN ONCE, NEVER
There are certain technologies which have been rolled out on a massive scale, but which (at least for me) either DO NOT WORK AT ALL IN ANY WAY, NOT EVEN ONCE, NEVER or are quite obviously completely unuseable. I'm thinking in particular of:
* Windows is searching for a solution to your problem...
*Windows is looking for drivers online...
*Multimedia Messaging (MMS) (Europe) - I have spent days trying to set it up and have only ever received one successfully in my life and that was from identical phone to identical phone on the same network provider.
*Video calls on a cellphone (would anyone want to use that on a cellphone anyway?)
*Chat on a cellphone
I'm interested to know if anyone else had the same experience with these or other technologies and if so, what they think can be the explanation for a company rolling out a technology which so patently does not work.
