This week, we’re airing our grievances with modern life, because somehow everything is meant to be easier now, yet we’re scanning QR codes, doing 2FA every five minutes and paying a subscription to…
So today we are talking all about modern inconveniences because I think there's so much things that people have tried to make things better, but they haven't.
I wish they would just stay in their box with some of these things.
Take us back to the good old days.
Okay, our first one is QR codes.
I will admit, sometimes I do like a QR code.
Like if I'm going to a restaurant and then I can just order, you don't have to like line up.
It just like does take out a bit of extra steps.
But I will say that there's a lot of times where people are just implementing QR codes that it's not needed.
Let's get rid of them.
Actually, a fun fact in my uni, like last year, we had to do like a major project and And I wanted to do something and it was like, would have a QR code on each page.
It was something to do with a kid's book.
And then it would link to a, it had to be educational, link to a video that I would have to make.
And my tutor said that QR codes were old news.
Little did he know, a couple of months later, COVID would happen and the whole world relies on QR codes.
Take us back to the time of having to check in, you know, scan the QR code.
Yes, living on the border and you'd have to have a QR code just to be able to, like, drive to survive.
literally one that i have is trying to figure out what streaming service has to show that you want to watch like i understand we're in a world of streamers but i argue that foxtel was more convenient you could literally just do the little search sometimes you can do the voice search to find out what channel it was on easy whereas now it requires a okay well i'm gonna look i think it's gonna be on stan you go look on stan not on stan then you go look on disney not on Disney.
Slash All Star.
I don't even reckon All Star is a thing anymore.
I feel like they've been cancelled.
