When it comes to the failing of modern technology, the truth is it’s not a
matter of if, it’s a matter of when. These disasters come in many forms:
hard drive crashes, failed logic boards, and no one is safe from attacks by
coffee, beer or baby vomit. Sometimes things like minor software problems can
snowball into full-blown nervous breakdowns.
I’ve seen grown adults cry, throw hissy fits, even violently throw their
pieces of personal technology at the floor (pro tip: this helps nothing).
There’s no sense in losing your mind, when you’ve already lost control of
your device; these things happen and it’s important to keep your cool when
they inevitably do.
Dealing with technological disruptions and disasters requires both foresight

same.

When the Web was young and digital marketing in its toddler shoes, a common
practice was to require customers to fill out a form before they could access
a site. Cheered on by “Get all the exciting news from Brand A” or

form before you watched a commercial, grabbed a brochure or visited a store,
why should that be different when it comes to digital?
