I love technology, particularly in the way it allows better ways to communicate - Instant Messaging, SMS testing etc. gets my juices flowing (oh yeah!) BUT the thing that gets my goat is the cold calls from companies trying to arrange salesmen to call. Nobody I knows appreciates having a call at eight in the evening when you're reading to the kids or getting them into bed. We were averaging one or two calls a night but after registering with the Telephone preference service they have totally stopped!
