The Techno-Stressed Life

While there already is a definition related to the term "Techno-Stress" online that describes it basically as the fear of facing new technology, I believe that the additional definition, listed below, should also be applied

Definition: Techno-Stress : (noun) The anxiety felt when technological devices and their respective software act in a counter-productive manor to that in which we are accustomed to them working.

Anyone who has ever worked with technology, and the bridging of platforms, I'm sure are well aware of the definition and the context in which I have described it above.  From attempting to bridge a Blackberry tablet with an Apple iPhone in order to tether services to figuring out how to reset an android device using a desktop that does not wish to compute to even figuring how to get the audio from your laptop to bluetooth speakers via a USB/WiFi combo connection, Techno-Stress can apply to everyone and span multiple situations.

Web Development actually has taken many strides that help in the reduction of Techno-Stress. The standards that have been ratified by the W3C Consortium have allowed users to know that the interfaces they interact with should respond as they are expected to, no matter where or how they are accessed.

Web Tech, and Tech in general, have given society the ability to find new ways to make life easier, as Geekbeat host Cali Lewis used to say on her podcast "My Mobile Life" it's all about doing more whenever, wherever, and the less Techno-Stress we face the more we can do.
