There are so many levels of technology. When we bought our current house seven years ago (our previous houses had been 120, 80, and 75 years old respectively), it was the first new house with new appliances we had ever lived in. We thought we had hit the jackpot because the refrigerator had an ice maker! All of our much younger neighbors had upgraded to get refrigerators with water in the door, ice in the door, lights in the door. Our technology triumph was, actually, rather sad.
So now my ice maker is not working! For a few days no ice cubes popped out; then magically, ice cubes started reappearing making my husband happy once again. Next the arm on the ice maker stuck halfway between up and down - once again, no ice cubes. So now we've given up on 'new' technology and reverted to the blue, plastic ice cube trays that you fill up at the kitchen sink and gingerly carry over to the freezer (how much water spilled this time?). However, these beat the really old fashioned metal ice cube trays with the handle you had to jerk and pry out of all that frozen water.
The motto? Technology is great when it works.
