What technological advances have you encountered lately that left you scratching your head or were less than stellar?
The future is here and...um...eh...meh...

Mayhap 'twas translated from Shakespearean English to modern English? What thinkest thou?
I am amazed with how battery technology has progressed. Several years ago, I would get say three hours with my laptop before it commits seppuku. Now, my new laptop has a battery life of an amazing three and a half hours! It's incredible.
Though sarcasm aside, battery life needs improving.
The problem with battery life is that technology does a lot more things now than it did before. Mobiles back in the day could last a fortnight before needing a charge, whereas smartphones are typically a one day affair.
I'm quite fortunate with my phone, it's a dumbphone and has almost no special features, it does calls, and texts, a basic calendar and calculator and other assorted things, and that's it. From a full charge, I can leave it for a week and still be on at least one bar.
Aye, I have one of the same. It was pretty refreshing going back to it from my smartphone. xD

I also hate rechargeable batteries. Having to charge them up 12-24 hours to get 2-3 hours of use out of them seems to defeat the purpose in my opinion.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
