Ron: Why are there six people outside who say they're waiting to meet with me? April: So, you know how you love me because you haven't had a single meeting with anyone since I became your assistant? That's because every time someone calls and requests a meeting with you, I always schedule it for March 31st. Ron: Why? April: Because I didn't think March 31st existed. [Ron looks confused] ""Thirty days has September, April, March, and November."" Ron: [corrects her] JUNE, and November. [April looks ashamed] Today is March 31st. April: I know. Ron: So, then, how many meetings do I have today? April: 93.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder, leaving us with fifty-button remote controls, digital cameras with hundreds of mysterious features and book-length manuals, and cars with dashboard systems worthy of the space shuttle.
