That sounds annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583775 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:12:14 +0000 Mae 1583775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: yea its a mac thing. and really annoying imo because I use a lot of abbreviations/casual language when I'm chatting. Like for example if I type 5ish it autocorrects to fish. I'm a lot more likely to say "5ish" than "fish" in my everyday life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583755 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:07:01 +0000 pui 1583755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Your computer actually auto-corrects which word you're trying to type? I have spell check in my browser (it underlines words in red that are spelled wrong/a typo so I can fix them) but it doesn't try and change my words lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583723 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:00:45 +0000 swurlygurl 1583723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I hate computer spell checks... it's usually pretty useless! My iPhone just *knows* me though, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583703 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:56:52 +0000 Mae 1583703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol funny because I hate autocorrect. I don't make a ton of typos, but I feel like my computer (which also autocorrects for me) never knows what I want to say and makes bad assumptions. </p> <p>I do &lt;3 my iPhone though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583601 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:36:03 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1583601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm spoiled by having a smartphone, I think. My iPhone is older, and starting to slow down, and I get SO annoyed at it. </p> <p>And then I remember that 10 years ago, my first cell phone cost me $15 a month, texting didn't exist, and if I needed to look something up, I went to the library. So spoiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583592 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:33:51 +0000 pui 1583592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the internet is being slow (not down, just slow) it's the bane of my existence! It's crazy because I can still remember dial up as a kid... but I'm now spoiled by my usual fast internet connection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spoiled-by-technology#post-1583584 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:32:00 +0000 swurlygurl 1583584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you spoiled by technology?</p> <p>1) It annoys me when I'm typing on a computer (ie HB) and there's no fancy iPhone autocorrect. I have to capitalize my OWN 'I'?? You don't know that 'sicne' means 'since'?! Etc...</p> <p>2) I never thought I would fully rely on it, but I am in love with my rear-view backup camera in my car. It's painful to have to use DH's car without one, to the point that I worry I'm going to forget I don't have the sensor to tell when I'm getting too close to that parked car behind me! :( </p>
