You've been leaning on the telly's power-switch for ages, thinking "That's way longer than four seconds...." before remembering that most household devices aren't ACPI-enabled.

My middle finger tends to hunt for the non-existent scroll-wheel on my TV remote control when I'm reading Teletext.

When I was painting my walls and I got some of the yellow on my white
ceiling I thought "Fuck, there's no undo!"

you find yourself hunting for the little speaker icon when your mums lecturing you or the pause icon.

You look for the "Shutdown" button when you go to close a book.

When attempting a wank somewhere remote and techless, you suddenly find that your imagination has atrophied through a decade of neglect.

When you spend five minutes trying to minimise the bit of paper propped against your monitor.

When you see things you want to set as your desktop background.

When you walk down the high-street with your optical overly identifying fonts on every sign and frontage you pass.

Hell, when you have an optical overlay.

When you are double clicking your tv remote.

When you are going though a photo album and expecting to see a list of page numbers along the bottom, and a NEXT > icon.

When you complain this audio CD does not contain 6 double albums.

When you start to write a letter and see in your minds eye an errant paperclip dancing by your right elbow.

When you are reading a magazine, see a pic you like, and look for the controls to zoom in !
