Keeping tabs on me

Why does new technology that is supposed to make your job easier make it harder?

The other day at work we got a new tabbing machine. It is a lot more complex than the old one. The old one you just put in the pieces and turn it on. This one has more moving parts. It is also heavy. I have not gotten the hang of it yet. It is pretty frustrating. Of course I get frustrated pretty easily. I might figure it out by the time I return. If the machine does not kill me first.
