9 Laws of Technology the Wall Street Journal Missed

Earlier today, the Wall Street

Journal refurbished some decades-old observations under the title "The 6 Laws of Technology Everyone Should Know." (Example: "Technology is a very human activity.")
That list, however, lacked some modern Laws of Technology that, IMHO, are far more profound and meaningful. Here they are:
Law #1: Big brother is watching, along with 273 of his siblings and an unemployed college dropout living in his parent's basement in Parma, Ohio.
Law #2: The actual battery life of your phone is always less than one half what the manufacturer claims it to be.
Law #3: As technology firms grow larger they either become cable providers or start behaving like them.
