Using the telephone to talk to representatives of
more and more organizations, especially
commercial ones, has become, and is becoming,
increasingly fraught. You usually now get a
ludicrously positive, beaming, robot humanoid
voice, terribly terribly well-spoken, not a real
person. You are asked to push a series of
buttons supposed to home you in on the option
you want to address when you deal with them.
Then all too often one of two things happens: -
(a) you discover to your horror that this phone
call is being answered in a completely inhuman
automated way – there is no possibility of
actually talking to a human being not a robot
humanoid voice interpretation machine that
often mishears you or hangs up unexpectedly.
(b) You wait ten or twenty minutes listening to
that company’s taste in piped muzak ‘on hold’ –
most irritating when they play the same
(depressing?) muzak track over and over again.
Then when you finally get through to a human
voice, and ask a slightly difficult question not on
their computer screen, they say ‘do you mind if I
put you on hold for a moment?’ which turns into
a further ten or twenty minutes, far from ‘a
moment’. They are really saying, were they
honest about it ‘I do not mind putting you on hold
for ten minutes when I say ‘a moment’. You are
footing the phone bill and we ensure it is a
premium rate number so we get a large payment
from the phone company from your bill – for
keeping you on hold.’
Another form of ‘computer-money complex’
phone abuse, also just keeps getting more and
more common and intrusive. Increasingly when
my phone rings, it is no friend, not even a real
person on the far end. It is a recording of
another robot humanoid, pleasantly inviting you
to buy their service or pay for everything apart
from the actual fare of the Mediterranean Cruise
