Look, you lay-about, indolent, unproductive author, if you can't be bothered to be specific about your wishes, it's no good blaming this anthropomorphism of ultimate corruption.
Oh alright. Since it's you.
Granted. I should at this point out that Microsoft required, as part of the take-over, required that all cars have their systems to run their new OS. This has the side effect of causing the motor to run madly, even when not needed and gives the average car a range of about 100 yards before requiring re-charging. Microsoft promptly introduce SP1, which consists of a giant diesel generator in a trailer that plugs into the charging socket of the car. Unfortunately, the car also automatically updates is OS every 3 months, which also requires a new larger generator to drive it. This means that everyone must replace their car every 2 years with a new larger stronger car capable of moving the new generator required to power the newly improved more efficient software and electronics. The resulting piles of old cars that cannot be used produce a new set of environmental nightmares, not to mention supply chain nightmares. And don't even get me started about the new Microsoft SatNav with Mr Clippy, the routing wizard. "Where do you want to go today" my foot.

Granted. The US now has the least restrictive copyright law on the planet. So lax that essentially does not exist. This means that everything can be copied and shown by anyone. As a result, only printers, cinemas and TV companies make any money, which they use to buy politicians to ensure that their copyright positions are protec... Oh. Bummer.
I wish I could stop thinking about a Vera and the Doctor story.
