Midweek pessimism

I found this typed on my laptop at work. I can't remember when I wrote it, or what inspired it, but I thought I might as well post it. Why leave something on a hard drive when it could be used to up my word count on a blogsite? (he said, smiling)
I can only speculate that I was struggling with predictive text, or possibly trying to come to terms with a subtle technical change that had been made to blogger or a work system or something, that was rendering me completely inept and making me feel old, useless and frustrated. I stand by some of it, even though it was probably thrown down in a fit of rage with the intention of editing it later. Or maybe I felt better after writing it, and then decided not to pollute the internet with it, in which case I am now about to crap on my former self's intentions by publishing it. Anyway, this is what I found:

"Is there profit in human work avoidance? - a thought"
Why don't the makers of software make their programs the most amazing teachers ever?
Why instead are they designed to make us all lazy?
Instead of having it say, "I think I know what you're trying to do here, so let me teach you how to do it properly" they have them say "I know what you're trying to do here, so let me do it for you".
Why?
To make us all enslaved puppets, unable to perform rudimentary tasks without succumbing to the whims of our devices? To program us as compliant, reliant servants?
I wonder where it will lead... To the wonderfully realised future evident in the movie "Wall-E" probably...
