Show Page 3B Lakeside Review Thursday, November 13, 1980 A, on U nay From vWIt the Review Staff fi'fh Staff Writer from superIn these days of automated living sonic transport to lasar communication to TV pong life can be a bit aggravating and cold to the average man on the street. One of the more intense aggravations the buying public has been forced to deal with is the computer novelty gimmick which has poured on to the marketplace like a runaway river. Beware, America Alarm clocks dont just buzz to wake you anymore they speak. Desk calculators arent made for the desk theyre made for the wallet and are getting so thin that by 1985 theyll only have one side. And if you want to really impress your friends you can get a calculator that not only computes log rhythms and taxes, but also tells time, temperature and doubles as a musical instrument. Can you imagine how aggravating it must be to wake up to the sound of a metallic box screaming at you in a metallic voice amid alternating buzzes and beeps? Or finding the wafer-thi- n calculator that you spent last months wages on in your shirt pocket after its been washed, dried and pressed? And the only reason you found it then was because it kept singing a Star Wars version of the Star Spangled Banner? Or when the TV pong game you bought the family for evening amusement suddenly turns your home into a penny arcade when the kids invite the neighborhood to compete in a pong tournament? And you cant even participate because you spend the whole evening preventing sore losers from chucking furniture at the video screen and explaining to winners that your new Plymouth was not the grand prize? With all the technical advancements computer science has made, youd think all the old aggravations in life would be taken care of. Well theyre still around and computers have done nothing but add to the list. The common telephone is a good example. Even with the recent innovations like number memory, n dial, busy signal beepers, micro-rela- y stations and so on, getting someone to return your call when and where youd like them to is virtually impossible. ... fa Editorial Vigilance Needed After Votes Cast to see that they do what we thought last week they were going to to. We should also keep in mind that our involvement is. needed in other areas of government not on the ballot last week like city councils, and in nonpartisan races like the school They call it rebuilding. Thats what youre doing now if you are a Democrat. Contrast that with the feeling of satisfaction if you favor the Republican Party. The majority of lakeside area readers voted last week with the Republicans, like the rest of the nation. That must mean its time to relax now. The political processes are in good hands . Whether from a Republican or a Democrat or whatever, thats faulty thinking. If you are a Republican, its time to go out of your way to let the GOP in Utah know that the oversized support at the polls does not give anyone carte blanche with our money or state programs old or new. A political leader elected by a large majority needs prodding and watching as much as, or perhaps more than, one who was sweating all the way. Also, there must be some y reason for that large some must There be swing. were that favored by programs local residents and supported by those who were elected. Lets harass them a little now one-part- . r : OMekea Gimmicks Aggravating By PHIL KIRKWOOD Kri 1 And since they haven't invented a buzz, ping or beep to cure this aggravation, those of us who live and die by the return call are forced to take measures. Like telling his secretary that the crew from 60 Minutes will be dropping by to ask a few questions about his income tax statement and underworld connections. Or you could always use the subtle approach and casually mention you have several photographs of for a last years convention hed be interested in price. On the other hand I wish someone would invent a way to screen incoming calls so I could watch Monday night football in peace and not have to spend the first quarter talking my way out of a subscription to TV guide.
