Its the little things that make the different and technology can make things worse

Got on the bus this morning, tried to pay for my ticket using my contactless to get to work , machine declined it, tried again, machine declined, walked off bus huff as it clearly distrested me and aggitated my mental health and it was clear by the badge around my next i was going to work, driver said he would still let me on, spends all journey crying at the back as I couldnt understand why my card got declined as i got paid yesterday, thanked driver and said i couldnt understand why my card got declined, driver said dont worry about it, have a good day.

Post this story on both my wall and one a group I follow called First Bus Is Not A Public Service - It's A Disgrace, its have 40 likes and a ton of comments like: "Its nice to see the good things drivers do being posted in here for a change instead of all the negative stuff. Well done to the driver"

One of his colleagues of the driver tagged him in my post and he commented this on my post:

Hello, I feel like a creep but got posted this message by another driver I am the driver from this morning. We aren't all complete a**wipes.

And your words on Facebook keen the world to me!

I hope you have a good day hun XX

I responded with:

Can I have your staff number

and Registration / fleet Number so I can put in a Extra mile award for you please because I think it needs to be noted?

and he thanked me so its something to do tomorrow I do wonder if I will see him when i get on the bus again but I have been thinking about maybe carrying £10 on me just in case as I have spent all this week in a state of high anxiety due to my now so close biru appointment on monday (and HWB said they would be willing (yes I got the green light to pass on thier details) to train staff members on how my injury effects me as I explained to my manager I feel like my mental health is deteriorating and when he asked me how can we help I said I dont know and his response was it feels like when you say you dont know it suggests you can be bother to think of a response which make me break down in tear and i replied with no i say i dont know because i cant process the information and dont know how to react, signalling that he still doesnt understand what impact coming off medication has had on me (it really feels like it agitated my injury if that is possible) or how it alters my perception)

By reading the title of the post “It’s the little things that make the difference and technology can make things worse”, I completely agree with.

The little things always count and technology, well all you’ve got to do really is look at the people around you and see how many people are looking DOWN at their phones.

One FAD that seems to have phased out now is Pokémon GO. Yeah, it might have been a clever concept in some ways but could be very annoying to others and I have read how people have hurt themself through this “game”.

I do think, the more technology advances, the dumber the population will get.

I wouldn’t be surprised if The Terminator films were trying tomtell us something.

Stephen Hawking: Artificial Intelligence could spell the end of the human Race

[Matt2584 in reply to bexx87]

I can agree with Mr. Hawking there. It is all being done very slowly. Now look at supermarkets, a lot of the cashier’s jobs have been replaced with self serve machines.

Not exactly AI, I know, but they are still mechanical and you can’t gossip with a machine can you :).

I’ve seen videos on the net referring to AI. Robot maids, robot dogs and even robot sex slaves!
