Mamba Query returns with a fairly obvious question, which I hope spawns from you all fairly obvious answers.

The question:
What aspects of technology do you wish were not used inappropriately?

My answer:
Most mobile phones have a speakerphone function. Most mobile phones will play music as well. However, it doesn’t help when you’re on a train in a semi-empty carriage being forced to listen to the music from the Coke World Cup advert and something by Rihanna on loop.
Granted, the looping two songs caused by a lack of memory due to them being cheapskates that spends too much on booze instead of improving their non-consumable items, but using the low quality speakerphone on a cheap Nokia as a surrogate ghetto blaster just seems like an inappropriate use of technology that really should be banned.
And yes, I know I sound old and pathetic with that tone of answer, but I feel it’s true.

Your answers for your unwanted misuses of tech in the comments please…
