Ah, the march of technology.

I went into Boots today with a little USB stick to print off some photos at their touch-screen terminals.

Ten years ago I would have still been astonished that I could walk into a shop with portable memory the size of a keyring, and without even needing to use a keyboard or a mouse, I could specify half a dozen pictures and print them out to my chosen size and finish within five minutes.

Today I felt sweary at it because the !!!!ing touchscreen was so poorly calibrated and it took a whole five minutes to select and print my pics.
