THE WEIRD + WONDERFUL WORLD OF TECH

Before you leave 2021, look back with us at some of the hilarious, bizarre yet
completely true tech stories that made the news. You’ll be glad you did!















PANICKED CUSTOMERS FORCED TO TALK TO PEOPLE DURING DATA OUTAGE

Terrifying! During a data outage in the UK, customers were forced to... talk to
people on their phones! Some even engaged in face-to-face conversation.
Shock-horror!

(Editor’s note: "talking" is believed to be an ancient practice from the last
century - before data plans)

NO TIME TO DIE – AT LEAST NOT HOLDING AN IPHONE

Apple banned Bond villains from using iPhones. Apparently, sinister criminals
pinching and zooming is not the look Apple wants. Bond himself resorted to a
Nokia 5G but the film was so delayed the phone had to be re-imaged. Meanwhile,
there’s no word from Apple on their anticipated exploding pen - or who’s allowed
to use it.

WILL THE REAL 5G TOWER PLEASE STEP FORWARD!

It was hard enough hiding those 4G towers, but, due to higher frequencies, 5G
towers will be far more numerous. A new breed of “concealment companies” are
cloaking them in palm trees, cacti, and recycling bins!

Who knows, there could be a 5G tower outside your door, right now...

TESLA IS BUILDING A ROBOT THAT YOU CAN PUSH OVER

Elon Musk announced the Tesla household robot for 2022. To counter fears of an
imminent robot apocalypse, he said it will be small enough to push over, and “it
probably won’t work”. (Phew! Now we only have to worry about the big robots that
do work).

WHAT'S THE META WITH FACEBOOK?

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg (who is probably not a robot) introduced us to the
metaverse in his trademark warm manner that saw him become a beloved figure
worldwide in 2021 (excuse the sarcasm). Yes, Facebook is now Meta, following
what was, no doubt, a very short brainstorm.

GOOGLE WAS ACQUIRED IN 2021... FOR $3

One eagle-eyed consumer noticed that Google’s Argentinian domain google.com.ar
had lapsed and snapped it up for $3. Google didn’t’t say how much they spent to
get it back, but we understand that one Argentinian teenager will have a VERY
Merry Christmas this year!

2021 OLYMPIC ATHLETES URGED TO STOP BITING MOBILE PHONES

You know that iconic moment when sweaty athletes bite their Olympic medals in
front of the world’s media? … They’re chewing on mobile phones. Yes, Olympic
gold medals in Tokyo were covered in a plastic wrapper made from recycled
mobiles. The IoC advised athletes against such recklessness!

MEANWHILE, ONE MAN MISPLACES HIS PHONE... IN HIS STOMACH

It’s a story as old as time – you put your phone down and you just can’t find
it. This year, one man didn’t find it down the side of the sofa – it was
retrieved after spending 6 months in his stomach! Hopefully he planned ahead and
put it on silent.

RISING & FALLING BRANDS - WHO’S BEEN NAUGHTY OR NICE IN 2021?

Apple have maintained their position as the world’s most valuable brand of 2021.

184%.

SPACE X CREW FORCED TO USE DIAPERS AFTER TOILET BREAKS DOWN

Yes, that’s right, Elon’s $6 Billion project ran into plumbing problems in
November when the toilet broke and astronauts were forced to make a hasty trip
to Earth using what NASA calls “absorbent undergarments” (wow! very high-tech!)
Astronauts admitted feeling flushed and

FEELING HUNGRY?... YOUR PRINTER MIGHT BE JAMMED

Imagine getting the perfect turkey dinner from your printer, instead of a burnt
one from the oven! Redefine Meat announced they can 3D print 10kg of plant-based
meat per hour, and their juicy sausages and steaks are now available in Europe
and Israel. That’s a lot of happy turkeys!

BEAM ME UP JEFF! CAPTAIN KIRK BOLDLY GOES WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE GONE BEFORE

Trek was shown on TV. Live long and prosper William!
