If we’re talking about the technology that feels frustrating when you use it, the first one which comes to my mind is probably a bracelet which tracks your health. There are several reasons why I think so. The first one and the most important is accuracy and quality of its results after a period of usage. And honestly, these results are not that bad, but they’re also sometimes a mistake and it really harms your daily routine or how you think about your health. For example, during the day you can wear the bracelet and during the night also. But when you wake up next day, the data can be harmed because you didn’t place your hand right during your sleep. And talking about the time when I started firstly using it, it was like six months ago when I saw a video on YouTube and I was inspired by this technology because I thought it would change my life and help me improve my support performance and also will influence my sleep. But as I said I met some problems and the next problem that I faced was not accuracy of data but the design of this bracelet and it was not relevant enough for cultural events. It looked not bad but it really it was really non-cultural. It looked like a modern thing which usually don’t fit your outfit and that really annoyed me because when I wanted to track my health but I was going to the important event for me I can’t wear it because people would say why I wear it on cultural events and by the end of my speech I want to say that I really respect technologies like this but I really want them to change particularly to have a restructuring redesign which would influence them and change and make a lot better.
