Has technology ever failed you when you needed it most? Have

Not necessarily me, but this was when MS Office made a few changes.
During University one of the first class presentation assignments practically the whole class I was in were fucked since they all saved their documents as .DOCX when the lab machines had older copies of office which couldn't open them.

The lecturer didn't take any prisoners and roasted the class pretty hard for not turning up work, I however was a cool guy who brought my laptop and quickly converted my work into a usable format on the sly and got top marks (buddy of mine in the same class over said mine was used as an example).

Universities are not about education. They are about making money.

Yes, Libreoffice started to erase all my math expressions that took me an entire afternoon to write (calculus homework to be sent via email to professor) and I didnt have a scanner handy so I emailed with half the shit done anyway and got low marks. Should have learned TeX at the time.

Computer and internet also likes to be slow at the most urgent hours also (be it a subscription of any kind that is about to close because of late notice or the server gets fucked with high bandwidth).

When windows 10 first came out the mail app was completely broken and wouldn't actually send mail. I ended up getting replies from employers about a week too late.

Probably not but women do look down on you if your phone isn't one of their gay toys solely for the green bubbles shit, they might forgive you if you have the latest galaxy S but any other one and you might as well be carrying a rock.

Just stay away from women.
