Technology - It's BRILLIANT!

Ok i was reading on t'internet right, there was this blokey - Top genetic scientist who's spent his life on genetics and DNA and basically had managed to map out the genetic footprint of humans' and said that within 5 years we'd be able to know our genetic time-line. On other words - according to our genetics and DNA how old we will live to. Unfortunately he couldn't complete his research as he was run over by a bus on his way to the office. So what's my point? No matter how 'brilliant' technology is and becomes, unfortunately it's used by and created by us humans.
And we're all a bit stupid really - even the clever ones. Probably - especially the clever one's like this scientist, who should have looked both ways.
This brings me onto my main point - how impatient we all are by the 'latest' or 'newest' technology. At work, our computer server and systems have been migrated over to some super duper system in Hong Kong. Today is the first day it's gone live - and it crashed straight away and has been running slower than our old perfectly slow 'zx81' server.
I remember the first computer I had at work - it was one of those old style macs that was a box, literally the size of a box. You used to start it up in the morning, go and get a coffee and make some toast, come back to the desk and it was still happily whirring and blinking away, and just beginning to start up. It never bothered me because it was still way faster than the load times of my Commodore 64.
But now - if we have to wait longer than a milli-second for anything we start compaining. Funny really - we're so impatient and technology, as much as we laud its merits will always rely on some bloke staying awake to press the buttons in the right order... that is until technology can create the blokes so then you'll just need another bloke making sure the robot blokes don't break and press the buttons.. viscious circle and i'll stop now my computer is struggling to keep up and I have to keep awake to press the buttons.
