The Truth
Some days, I swear my computer is gaslighting me.Yesterday it froze mid-Zoom, rebooted itself twice, and then acted like I was the problem.
It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.
The Real Problem
Tech was supposed to make life easier — remember that promise?Now I need two logins, three authentications, and a blood sample just to check my calendar.
At this point, my laptop and I are in couples counseling.“Have you tried turning empathy on and off again?”
The Irony
We build machines smarter than us…but still forget to make them kind.
(And by “machines,” I mean the companies, systems, and shiny tools we keep buying without teaching anyone how to use them.)
The Lesson
Maybe the future of technology isn’t faster processors or bigger models.Maybe it’s patience.Maybe it’s kindness.Maybe it’s remembering that behind every app, dashboard, and “intuitive platform” — there’s a human just trying not to throw their mouse.
💜 The Tech TLC Way 💜
At Tech TLC, we don’t just fix the tech.We fix the relationship between humans and it.
Because honestly, both sides could use a little TLC.
Now close the laptop.
