Technology is dumb

I am a technology dork. I like things that make my life easier, and/or make my entertainment easier (and cheaper). But it seems technology has hit a wall that doesn't allow for really cool things to happen anymore. Case in point, search any technology news source and what is everyone talking about?

Is it some awesome Linux distro that's going to make Windows its bitch?

Is it a new website where all the information you might ever need in your lifetime is made readily available and searchable?

No its something far, far more stupid:

Twitter.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Americans are being wowed by a service that lets you post texts for all to see giving up to date info as to what you are doing? And you think we don't need some kind of mass extermination? Let me put this as mildly as I can... Nobody needs, cares, or wants to see anything about what you are doing. Ever. Even your parents don't love you that much. There are absolutely zero people on this planet who might actually be interesting enough to use this service. I don't care if Jesus Christ himself returned to the earth. I don't want him updating in real time his everyday activities. Here, I'll save everyone some time:

The Most Interesting Person in the World is watching T.V.

There you go, you idiotic drones. You've been updated.

What's the other "hot" thing in tech these days? Something that would give Twitter a run for its money in the "further proof the West is in bad need of some genocide" category. iPhones and their "apps."

Examples of the most popular iPhone apps (from Apple's website): ringtones, movie trailers, and sticky notes. People, you have reached all new levels of suck. Where are the apps that will really serve a purpose. Apps like "You're being a cockface meter/alarm," or "Learn how to spell, asshole," or my personal favorite "automated phone user sterilizer." These apps would actually serve a purpose instead of intellectually pushing humanity closer to their ape cousins.

And to double the useless quotient, you can download an app to your iPhone so that you can Twitter. Someone drop the bombs, please.

The World Aflame is contemplating defecting to Al Qaeda, and wondering why all new technology must be given the dumbest names possible.
