Welcome to the very first weekly NoiseDraft! We get bored pretty easily here at The Noisecast which usually leads to a violent atmosphere of drunkenly berating each other. In order to make things a bit friendlier, we’re going to be doing a weekly mock draft whose topics can be as serious as they are loony. For those unfamiliar with a mock draft, think of it like selecting teams back on the playground in grade school. You’d have two captains and a group of kids and each captain would pick people for their team, one by one. The same basic concept applies here, except that there are more than just two captains. Most of the Noisecast staff is participating so each week there is a new topic and a new selection order. Once a selection is made, it cannot be re-selected by another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each week the topic and the selection order will be different. Feel free to email us topic suggestions and feel free to continue the draft in the comments below. Remember, you can’t pick something someone else has already chosen! So here’s the list of picks for the very first ever Noisecast mock draft, tech we’d banish from existence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Steven – 3D Movies and TV<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Thanks to Robert “KaiserMachead” Alicea of http:\/\/www.doodleofboredom.com for letting us use his drawing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This shit is both terrible and painful. Shoving it down our throats won\u2019t make us accept it. The 3Dfication of media must stop NOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Chris – DRM<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This stuff makes me want to punch nuns with kittens because it holds back almost every method of mobile entertainment I want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ray – Flash web advertisements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Advertising is important, but it doesn\u2019t make me want to check out your product anymore if you advert pops out and covers up whatever I\u2019m trying to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ron – Cables<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every kind. I’m obsessively neat and cabling really gets in the way of it. I’m also lazy so setting them up properly is annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ben – Embedded music on websites<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ti6aBdbGMtc\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What the fuck is this, Geocities circa 1996? Not just music either, any audio that auto plays. Especially flash ads for shit I don\u2019t care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Alberto – Auto Tune<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Really I hated working with people in the early 2000\u2019s that wanted to use ProTools to help their non singing asses \u201csound like Ashanti.\u201d Today Auto-Tune is not used for pitch correction in post production, it\u2019s the whole fucking song. Let\u2019s kill this like 5 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Marian – The Fax Machine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s so damn ancient, it takes forever to send and receive documents, it hogs the phone line, and it ends up looking horrible! It\u2019s just as frustrating to use now as it was years ago. Why do people refuse to embrace the simplicity of a beautiful .pdf attachment sent through a quick email?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Eric – Automatic *anything* in the bathroom<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, tech. I like you. But I\u2019m not comfortable with you seeing me naked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
