About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt: Has technology made your life better or worse? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

------------

I really cannot blame technology when things go haywire. And, I love technology especially if it is applied with enough know-how by the source that is using it.

Until the advent of AI, I had almost no problems with any technological inventions. I am, still, not blaming AI, at all. But I am blaming all the companies that rush to adapt it to their already not-so-well functioning programs. AI, in itself, can be great, hands down.

Take my bank for example. I'm not saying the name of it, here, because I don't want to hurt anyone or any company. I use my bank's online page only on my computer. I don't have its app in my cell or in any other devices for the simple reason that I may lose my cell and I don't want my finances in unwanted hands. On the other hand, it seems to me that, lately, people in my bank have positioned all their programs to favor its app. Because of this, I can log on to their website on some days and not in others, and lo and behold, the site works perfectly on the days that it does, mostly during the weekdays, but heaven forbid, should I want to check something on a weekend. And no, I'm not messing up writing my password or anything. And I don't mind when they send a code to my cell, either.

Then, there is that Windows 11, which is another pain, which has made me wonder if my next computer will be an Apple, if I live long enough, but I can't trust any company anymore with anything that has to do something with the online biz. I just think they rush to use AI without enough knowledge or training.

Still, I think technology itself is very helpful to our lives. If only those companies using the newest techie stuff could train their employees more seriously and not rush to open to public their new technological changes without perfecting them. So yes, I blame the companies and not the technology itself, if at any time, I have a problem with the newest techie stuff.

Having said all that, it is very possible that, in time, everything will fall into its place, since the new technologies may be experiencing growing pains. Yet, I feel now, possibly the only place that offers user-friendly programs is Writing.com, thanks to the astute handling of the site by ourThe StoryMaster. *Bigsmile*

Also, in any site, if I ever have any problems, I always check what I did wrong myself, first. After all, I'm old and my eyes and other parts of me are not as sharp as they used to be. *Rolleyes**Laugh*
