It's unbelievable how trusting we become of (software-based) products that ship broken. Almost every piece of software in existence is broken (this is why I have a job) in some fashion--a fact that should really be communicated and instilled in people's brains--yet, we depend on these products with our lives. Literally.

You hear how spellcheckers are unlearning people how to spell; but seriously--GPS/SatNav systems destroying cars? It's happening all of the time.

It's mind blowing that people want to absolve themselves of responsibility of their actions after taking advice of dumb computers (read: information stores not intellectual beings). I'm sure I fall victim to this as well, but man... think for yourself! ...or at least admit to it when you failed to do so.

One of the many examples.
