I mean really...The Flintstones Had Better Technology...

Have you ever handed in an assignment late? Did you ever try the excuse, "My dog ate my homework?" How about sending in a blank attachment for a paper, claiming that the email must have messed up something? Its crazy to think about the excuses we make for not finishing up an assignment on time. What about those times when you did your work on time, and you opened up your word document just to find that your whole essay as a bunch of squares, dollar signs, and other Microsoft word hieroglyphics. Didn't that drive you crazy? These glitches always seem to happen at the wrong time and you always wish you can replicate it for your own use. Well in two days Americans prepare for one of the biggest elections in history, and its the one day that we don't need any computer glitches. According to some early voters, they have already encountered problems, with the machines initially registering the wrong candidate. Click here and here to read more about this story. The machines are supposedly easy to hack into and unverifiable , making it harder to resolve any issue.


Does this bother anyone? Its sad to see that one of the most important days in U.S history can possibly be rigged or left in the hands of some computer error. Let's be real, I won't be complaining if this works in Obama's favor, but at the same time I want to see an accurate and fair election. If more Americans think McCain is better fit for the job then well...well you know.
For real though. We have developed cell phones with touch screens, GPS systems, Internet and mp3 players. We have super computers where we can interact with people in other countries via video for free. We can get money at almost anytime through ATMs with touch screens. You are telling me that we can't develop a machine that simply ask you to choose between choice A and choice B. We can't invent a simple machine to do this simple process for just one day. Is that too much to ask, I mean...really?
