Dead Links that take you nowhere, popups that fill your screen as fast as you can close them.

Those giant load for ever redirected ridiculous sites that just feel like they are sucking your info to sell to the highest spamer.

Long abandoned web sites that haven't updated in years, yes it's been that long.

Super high speed information highway sure if you live within so many blocks of your local sub station the rest of us get slower and slower the further we live from said source.

The phone co. only guarantees 28 bps dial ups.

When we first moved to Lake County we could log on at around 32 to 38 bps not blazing speed by any means but sufficient to carry on a little business electronically outside of Lake county,

since the job market and opportunities for work depend on who you know not what you know.

Now after many struggling years and after fiber optics went right by my house and through the county and out the other side
not stopping for anyone here.

The phone companies service has gotten worse, now we log on at the minimum speed they guarantee which means sending any kind of attachment in an e-mail wraps up the computer,

phoneline, our attention among other things for twice as long as it did some 12 years ago, great progress.

Banking onliine is really a joke , be careful it is way slower than the US Mail which is probably why the Post Office showed a profit this year,
no increse in stamp costs.

You pay online 5 to 8 days earlier than snail mail then find out you have late charges on every payment you made your mortage now has late payments which effect your credit rating,

the late charge on your credit card means they can bump up your interest rate to 20 plus percent without even telling you ,
so much for that low percentage credit card.

 

Is it my bad luck or have any of you tried to do some kind of transaction on the Internet only to get to the end of a 6 page mothers maiden name type form and the submit or

the check out button does not work or is completely absent from the page.

Has anyone noticed the fine print disclaimers that tell you that this electronic super dooper way to pay a bill or buy a book might take 6 days or more for your transaction to actually happen,

and they call the post office snail mail. The one thing I was afraid of was proven the other day I went to my banks site and wanted to transfer some money to my partners account.

And my worst fears were confirmed, My bank was making money off my money for 6 to 8 days so they send probably a letter to 2 other banks in podunk N. Dakota or

left shoe Montana where someone who probably gets 5 bucks an hour to type up a check and then mail it to my partner who then has to drive to the bank and deposit it, what progress?

I could have written a check and handed it to her in less than 60 seconds, instead of getting late notices and late charges.

The Internet Sucks.

Go to a lot of sites services and your told to fill out a multi page form and at the end it tells you to print this form sign and mail it to them .

Why not just go to them and fill out the form?

They have made it so the alphabet doesn't even work if you do a Search for (A) first you have to go thru a certain amount of paid for position listings that have nothing to do with (A).

So you click on one that sounds like what your looking for and your e-mail inbox fills up with more crap than you can imagine you never wanted to know about much less see.

Make a fortune on E-Bay, I'm home alone, nasty chicks, Anna Kournikova Nude Pics (the kless virus), Every man wishes he had a bigger one,
Is everyone on the planet selling viagra?

So you see something in your inbox it has your name and a close friends name in it so you click and now your redirected to
who knows where and your left looking at a blank page which you have to restart

your computer just to get out of, nothing but pop ups and flashing ads. Just the other day I got this ad proving my worst fears.

Internet display advertising system, when your keyword or phrase is

a normal pay per click advertising or search engine optimization.

You don't have to wait weeks or months to get this position, just hours.

Don't get me started on job finding sites. Post your resume, sure.

Lets say I'm an artist, graphic designer, or photographer, all of these sites only allow you to paste a text only resume what good is that?

I've seen a lot of resumes and some of them have a lot of thought and time put into them which is why they stand out.

Then your inbox starts filling up again with nothing but more people who saw your reso and want to charge you some money to

write you a better reso or post your resume on their supposed new improved job site.

Out of the 10 or more resume sites I tried.

After about a year maybe 3 jobs were ever sent my way, most in fields outside of my expertise or in some other state or as an intern

(no money). But my e-mail filled up with more crap than you can imagine.

I just heard a consumer alert about these job sites sharing all that info with spamers trying to sell all that viagra

and those millions of dollars waiting for you if you just give the foreign princess a bank account to put it into.
