After frustrating time with a drummer trying to make a point for new technology advances in gear, a tech/gear head player changed tack,
'If the Motor Industry had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving £49.99p cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'
After giving up on him, the tech head left him to it, so the drummer went for a beer and thought about what was said....downing his beer he went a sought out the tech head and put him straight
"If the Motor industry had developed technology in the advancements of say.... Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics";
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........Twice a day.
2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3... Occasionally your car would die on the motorway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but.......... would run on only 10% of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.
11. You call 'customer service', and in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!
"If that is advancement of technology i'll keep on doing what man has done for thousands of years....and hit drums"
