After another attack this morning i was just wondering whether anyone else suffers from this.


it's basically a crossover in conceptual understanding of the real world and how we interface with technology.


Symptoms, personally speaking, include:


Constantly trying to point at things in the real world with my mouse

Getting annoyed that singing a song to myself doesn't increment the number of plays in my iTunes library

Increased anxiety in lifts when i can't shoot out the overhead bulb

Admiring sunsets and wondering what the resolution is

Looking at nooks and crannies in my surroundings and working out how I'll get up there

Looking at nooks and crannies in my surroundings and avoiding snipers

Mentally highlighting an unfamiliar word in a book and hitting the 'definition' button


Anyone....anyone...?

A kind of version. Playing poker in the flesh - don't know when it's my turn have to be constatntly nudged. Constantly asking how much is in the pot and looking for a cursor to pull over it and tell me. Biting my lip trying not to say "Fucking lucky donk" when some one calls your bets with 2, 3 unsuited and hits a 2 and 3 on the turn and river...now where's that anoymynous chat box...

Terrifically annoyed that I can't type as fast as I can think the words.

Annoyed that the word-cloud-of-ideas needs to first be expressed in actual words before they can be typed. I just want to be able to throw the cloud of 50 words onto the page (screen).


And yes, peed off that I can't phone everything I lose on a daily basis. I want to be able to phone my keys.

I asked mss us mockneynif she had any. She's not very geeky so had a think, then realised that (given fiery Irish temper) she mentally bashes ctrl+Z after losing it at someone at work.

I'm pretty sure we all would like an undo button from time to time.

I was in the supermarket the other week and hunting for some nuts which could have been alongside the fruit/veg or beside the baking goods or with the 'snacks'


I was wishing for a search function that would just bring all the various packets of nuts and line them up in front of me rather than me trawling through all the aisles.

When I'm on the 176, I sometimes think how great it would be if I could use arrow keys to direct the bus away from its route and stop outside my front door instead.


(thread makes me think of those futurists and theories about the Singularity ... hurts my head trying to imagine the future)

    • Sorry to be dim, but how would that help if I had a cold? I am not so vulnerable that I need extra protection from the mask itself. Just looked. My masks are from rosimask and  have a load of stuff stamped on them including FFP2.
    • Has anybody on here got any experience of covering a flat roof with sedum trays? We have a GRP (fibreglass) flat roof above our ground floor rear extension that would be suitable for this, but it's immediately below our rear bedroom window, so wondering if we might end being plagued with insects when the window is open in the summer. Also worried it might get damaged by pigeon poo and/or turn into a cat toilet, since there's lots of passing traffic!
    • I can't, but I'm sure ChatGPT could, if you ask it! With Windows 11, you can share documents, eg with work colleagues, via a setting. Probably it's the same with iPads etc and the solicitor has accidentally or deliberately shared it with your friend? I'm sure the solicitor can explain it if asked. Hopefully it wasn't an accident!
