The Future

We live in an age where my operating system can auto-detect my printer and auto-install its drivers. But a corollary of Newton’s third law states, for every advance in usability there is always an equal and opposite set of new and baffling features.

Take “high altitude correction,” for example. I had no idea that printers could suffer from hypobaropathy. Hey Samsung engineers, can’t you just throw a barometer in there and auto-tune that setting yourself?

Whatever. It was kind of cool that I could auto-enjoy my dinner last night instead of spending two hours manually downloading and installing printer drivers.
