Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 5 - Why does technology hate me so?

I honestly don't why technology detests me so much. I have only ever loved and adored it. 

I have an iMac. I have an iPhone. I use Twitter, Facebook, Linked in. I blog (obviously). In every way possible, I have declared passionate undying love to technology, ecstatic at the possibilities it has given me to express myself, to let my creativity run free. 

 Sadly it appears to be an unrequited love. For no matter how much I sing it's praises, utilise it's many assets, and wax lyrical about it's possibilities, it turns it's back on me, uncaring. 

 Now some may ask why I am investing sentience into what is after all just 0s and 1s programmed in impressive patterns. To which I would reply "What are you saying? Your computer will hear you!" Eavesdropping by your laptop aside however, I have been driven to this despair by events today. In one day Facebook and Google + have refused to find thumbnail images from blog posts I wanted to publicise by them, no small problem when this is one of the main facets of my job, followed swiftly by Tweetdeck, a third party application for Twitter now going belly-up (at least temporarily). 

 Now I know it's not personal really. Unless I possess powers I am not aware of, I doubt I have corrupted the code of any of these sites or applications, and it's highly likely that by tomorrow they will all be humming as if nothing happened. But though I try to  be rational, and remind myself it's happened to many people besides myself, I can't help wondering why technology keeps refusing my impassioned advances. All I have ever done is love it. What more can it want?
