Technology in America

Technology in America was supposed to make life easier. Buttons instead of levers. Convenience instead of effort. A future where everything just works.

And yet… here we are.Grown adults yelling at remotes. Restarting routers. Asking Alexa one question and getting three unrelated opinions.

On today’s episode of Pull My Leg, there’s no guest—just Mark and Miles, sitting down to have a calm, intelligent, deeply reasonable conversation about one of the biggest issues dominating our news cycle: Technology.

We look at real research about productivity, burnout, and attention…Then we examine research that absolutely exists about WiFi acting out of spite and Alexa listening more closely when couples whisper.

We’re not experts. We’re victims.

Topics include:

• Password fatigue and wizard-level requirements

• Printers, ink prices, and spiritual warfare

• Smart devices that aren’t that smart

• Phones, autocorrect betrayals, and other stuff

Pull My Leg.

Technology in America.

Nothing is taken seriously.

Everything feels personal.
