Auto-Failure
I think today's "Dilbert" cartoon is spot-on commentary about the laziness of modern life. How many of you use the "auto-correction" feature on your cell phones? And, by the way, should "auto-correction" actually have quotes around it? Hmmmm.... for another day. Anywho, I've only been using this feature for about a month or so because in the world of technology I'm about as current as an Atari. My baby sister was the victim of my auto-correction use this past December when I decided to text her happy birthday wishes early in the morning. Her nickname since birth has been "Doodles," so I texted "Happy Birthday Doodles." Simple enough, right? Not.Even.Close. My cell phone, in all its inanimate glory changed Doodles to Fondler. FONDLER? I didn't notice of course until Doodles texted me back understandably confused by my carelessly tossed out birthday accusation. For the record, I have no knowledge that Doodles has fondled anyone - intentionally or otherwise - but I suppose my cell phone might know something I don't. Personally, I think my cell phone is a big 'ol perv because anytime I try to type the word "in" it replaces it with the word "ho." Not cool Samsung. Not cool.
