Technology plays a powerful role in one's life. In this age of technology, one gets different kinds of technological advancements in outdated items. Um, moreover, there are numerous technological gadgets that are available at my home like washing machines, electric kettles, mobile phones, laptops, and televisions. And here I would like to describe a piece of technology that I find difficult to use. Actually, it is none other than the washing machine. It was a couple of years ago when we bought this washing machine at our home. Actually, uh, from decades ago, there was no kind of uh, or uh, no kind of machine at our home for washing clothes, and my family decided to buy one because uh, earlier we had to wash the clothes by hand. And it takes a lot of time for the drying of the clothes, which also requires a lot of time. And it was quite a daunting task in winter. So I decided to search about it on online websites, and I was really elated when I found one. And uh, finally, my parents ordered the washing machine for our home, and it came. I was overjoyed that finally, we could get relieved from the too much hard work of washing the clothes. And then, when I decided to operate it, I was uh, really, I really felt blue because I was not able to operate it. There were uh, uh, uh, ten buttons and there were 210 modes. And further, so the different kinds of buttons and different kinds of patterns, the modes were established. And then I decided that I would search about it on the internet, and uh, I was able to operate two to three modes, but uh, I had to take care of the buttons every time, whenever I wanted to operate it. Uh, further, I had kept a booklet aside for washing clothes, and uh, it had made my work uh, somewhat easier, but I really find it a Herculean task to just keep uh, keep the machine in a certain mode for the uh, betterment of the clothes. All in all, this was a piece of technology that I find difficult to use, and I can say that I would end up using only two to three modes of this technology, and I cannot get further information about this different kinds of modes and uh, um.
