There I was quietly enjoying a cup of tea, when “beep beep” goes my phone. Yet, another message telling me that I needed to upgrade my phone.

If you think about it, how many times a day are we bombarded with invitations to upgrade stuff that works perfectly well? Windows is another one. It seems that every day, I am ordered by Window’s to install vital updates for my own security. I wouldn’t mind so much except that sometimes the computer just reboots itself, and closes all the fantastic blogs that I’m in the middle of writing.

Windows is the worst culprit of all, because their new versions are always more system intensive, meaning not just new software is needed, but new, more powerful computers.

I always tried to live by the motto “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. What ever happened to that one? It seems that part of the price of wonderful technology, is that these companies are continually re-inventing the wheel to earn revenue. Now that’s fine if the functionality is genuinely increased, but is it really? Marginally, maybe, but a phone is really just for talking to each other, and a spreadsheet is for adding up numbers.

Will the next stage be upgrade your wife (or husband)? Well I’m pleased to say, that as one of the leaders in the dating world we have no plans for that at the moment, but who knows what the future might hold.
