Way back in 1993 I thought computers were nothing more than the devil’s handiwork. Horrible boxes of ones and zeros designed to suck us all into an apocolyptical era of soul-less automation. I actually thought the introduction of these glorified abacuses would turn us all into hermetic, zombified, drooling automatons.

Boy, was I wrong!

Computers really help us. They actually make things easier than if we had to perform tasks without them! You’ve heard the phrase “computers only do what you tell them to”, right? Well, the human race is certainly a fine example of order and concise thinking! Computers are merely a reflection of our global mindset – a wonderful place where we can all communicate with one another at the drop of a hat and live in glorious harmony.

In this positive pro-computer series we’ll take a look at some of the ways computers are more helpful in our daily professional, public and personal lives:

This time around: Telephone Operators!

If you can find anyone who doesn’t enjoy the process of navigating their way around these fabulous new voice-activated phone systems, I’ll eat my hat! Why hire human beings to communicate with someone in need of help, when the phone user can do everything themselves through a pleasant synthetic voice machine?

This way, we can eventually fire all of those pesky operators and support individuals, then charge the customer more money as we slowly become a DIY society!

I prefer to languish on the phone taking my time with a talking robot, rather than punching in my options on a simple touch tone service, given my clumsy sausage-like fingers! It’s even worse than trying to deal with a human being (with all their foibles and poor attitudes)! I would seriously love to meet whoever came up with this cute idea! I’d like to shake his [or her] hand…

(11:51:41 AM) BuCkSaTaN>:): Instead of chat rooms, I think we should do a bit in the comic where a pal is messaging another pal and he just never answers. In fact, he just walks away from the computer without a word. It’s a comment as to what society has become. What do you think?
