As a millennial I will admit that I use technology to an extreme. I prefer quick texts over phone calls, I check email and Facebook constantly, and accept nothing less than high speed internet. One thing which has quickly climbed the ladder on my technology pet-peeve scale would be Autocorrect. I had not experienced this prior to my HTC Inspire phone. Prior I had a Samsung Impression and had the option of turning off Predictive Text. However, I have yet to figure out how to turn off Autocorrect. In the past few days of casual texting I called my cousin Cindie "Candy" because my HTC's Autocorrect felt the need to rename her, and I apparently refer to myself as "o" instead of "I." This is minimal. I was also texting my boss about a file's location in case she beat me in to work, and Autocorrect felt the need to say brat instead. Fortunately she is a heavy technology user who is well aware of Autocorrect. Sometimes it can be laughable, but if you check out Damnyouautocorrect.com you can see how it can be downright wrong.
