Actually Mugs
Description: Modern society dreams of technological breakthroughs. Yet everyday workers often have far more modest technological ambitions. There is something uniquely frustrating about relying on an office machine that jams, disconnects, refuses to recognize a document, or mysteriously changes its settings at the worst possible moment. The humor comes from contrasting grand visions of the future with a painfully normal desire for basic reliability. Instead of demanding big inventions, the speaker simply wants one familiar workplace task to function smoothly without troubleshooting, restarting, or negotiating with an uncooperative machine. There is often talk of how the world will change through technological innovation. However, we need fast solutions.
