Jonah has a nice list of tech-based anxieties, to which I am happy to contribute:
The feeling you get right after you put something in the microwave and turn on HIGH power, not knowing what will happen to the food or its container. This reminds me of a bunch of other technology related “feelings” you get - such as not shutting down your machine the “right” way, sharing iTunes but not wanting everyone knowing you listen to Stone Temple Pilots (not that I do)
And how about: the moment in a meeting when you can't remember whether or not you turned off your mobile phone but don't want to be obvious about checking. Or the heart-stopping fear when you drop your laptop? I also like the awkward moment when you let people use your laptop to check their email, and you have to show them where and how to click -- and then get out of the way quickly so you don't accidentally ogle their inboxes.
I'm sure I'll add more on later. Suggestions?
