Domino Meltdown Effect
This morning I was the first one to class, I plugged in my computer and realized that the power was out, after a minor heart attack and reminding myself to breath I calmed down and began to prepare myself for the next 90 minutes, with my ex-best friend, pen and paper. What made me get through the class were my class mates reactions, as they one by one made the realization on their own, for as long as I live I shall never forget the grief stricken look on their faces, the gasps each and every one of them made, and the identical sorrowful way each and every one of them collapsed in to their chairs, as if some evil demon has ripped out their last living will to remain standing.
More iTunes Updates
iTunes wants to update, just one question: do I have to restart my computer when its done? Yes, so I'm fine with the version I have thanks for the offer.
Laptops in Class
About a year ago I had a guest lecturer that said Google Glass was out on the market. I quickly got on Google and ran a fact check, she was wrong. Lecturers beware or don't allow computers if you don't want to be proven WRONG!
Format External HDD
My external computer Hard-drive is very high maintenance, it only works with the wire that it came with. If any other wire is used it tells me that it needs to be formatted in order to work properly. Why would I be OK with deleting my 1TB of movies and TV shows?!? Oh my, need some fresh air...
Big laptop
I'm about 5 feet tall and my laptop is 17" so whenever I carry it I feel like I'm carrying a surfboard.

Image: Technical Glitch!
When ever something doesn't work the way that you want it too, it is never my fault. I swear! The computer just started doing all kinds of stuff on its own and I just couldn't figure out how to stop it! So please don't take it personally when I ask for your numbers again because my phone decided to spontaneously combust.

No Operating System
I shut my laptop lid for a second, when I opened it back up the screen was black and said "no operating system". Actually had a melt down.
Music Controls
My computer has buttons on the keyboard for controlling a music player, but they only work with Window's Media Player.
Projectors
Why does no one know how to work a projector? People are designing apps as teenagers, building web sites, editing video with the latest software, but no one can seem to figure out how to turn on and connect a projector!
Cut Those Damn Cords!
We fly like birds in the sky, we can live underwater like fish for days at a time but we can't figure out how to figure out a way to get rid of these endless wires. Why do laptops run out of battery!? Why do we still need to charge them?! It's the 21st century! Why can't we figure this out!?
Solitaire
I have been playing solitaire on the computer, got super close to finishing the game but then it turned out we lost power and my computer died so now I have to play by hand.
Never Ending Torrent
I have been trying to download this one season of a TV show using bitTorrent but its been taking FOREVER! Even the program says that it's ETA is infinity!

Wondow's Update
Last night my computer decided to shutdown and run a windows update so when I turned on the computer this morning it literally took an hour to start up again. I knew there was a reason why I never shutdown my computer.

Updating iTunes
Tried to update iTunes but when my computer restarted nothing happened! And now I can't add my new music to my new iPhone 5
Sticky Keys
My keyboard was stuck in sticky keys so my chorme wouldn't let me type. It kept opening new tabs when I pressed "T" and closing them when I pressed "W". Tried to Google it, but I couldn't type!
Grades
In our college as soon as we hand in our finals we all start refreshing our phones and computers hoping to see our grade come in. Yes, we expect everything to happen instantly and the word patience does not exist in our vocabulary. Within 24 hours we start bitching and moaning that it's taking the professors too long to grade 160 finals. Since we haven't yet gotten to the point where computers grade exams in our college (God we are SO old school). The wait was excruciating long; finally that moment I had been waiting for came, my phone buzzed, reluctantly and excitedly I opened the text and saw my grade, a zero, followed by a big FAIL in red. They actually spelled out the word "zero" instead of just writing the digit, almost like they had intended to rub it in even more. Impossible! It couldn't be! Within an hour I was already planning my revolution, I was getting ready to sue the school for misplacing my exam, for thinking I cheated, for all sorts of reasons. I already spoke to my class mates, I had their support. Two hours later I received an email, apologizing for the grade it had been a typo, and they had to wait to fix it till the hard copy came in. Hard copy!? What's that?
