I am writing to you with reference to Charlie Brookers article entitled By 2022, there'll be a naked photo of everyone on the planet lurking somewhere in the interverse.

Dear Mr Rusbridger,
I am writing to you with reference to Charlie Brooker’s article entitled “By 2022, there'll be a naked photo of everyone on the planet lurking somewhere in the interverse”. Although it originally appeared to be a light and, to some extent, witty approach to the topic of modern technology, I was left feeling rather disgruntled, and with a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth.
His cynical approach to 21st Century electronics painfully cements the stereotype of the aged losing touch with modern technology, especially as Mr Brooker will soon be approaching his mid-life crisis. Although the use of the word ‘interverse’, a non-existent combination of ‘universe’ and ‘internet’, is probably supposed to indicate the vastness and incomprehensibility of the World-Wide Web, it instead reflects Brooker’s ignorance and lack of understanding.
Later, he claims that “Even if [phone-borrowers] only want to make a call, simply by accessing the dial option they'll be treated to a list of who rang you last and how long you spoke for.” This is, in fact, untrue for the vast majority of mobile ’phones. Dialling a number will not display your last calls, only the current one, making Brooker’s point invalid.
In the passage about his awkward incident with a tourist couple, he writes “But unfamiliar as I was with the workings of their ’phone, instead of taking their picture, I inadvertently brought up the gallery of previous photographs.”’ Although this may be a minor design fault of the mobile, it is more likely to be a fault of the user: Brooker. In my experience, it is relatively easy to distinguish two buttons which say ‘Capture’ and ‘Gallery’, and unless Brooker suffers from severe dyslexia, this incident must be more down to imbecility and carelessness, than to an actual flaw of the device.
Brooker claims that “It’s possible for absolutely anyone to leave a comprehensive dossier of ultra- sensitive private information about themselves on the back seat of a ’bus just by misplacing their ’phone.” This statement is true enough, I suppose, but is it really unique to our ‘terrible modern hell’ as Brooker describes it? Surely the same level of inconvenience and possible embarrassment could have been achieved one hundred years ago with a stray letter or faulty telephone wire?

Throughout the article, Brooker’s negative angle on the whole subject is irksome and tiring to read. He writes “‘I just hope you trust the staff down the Orange store next time you're upgrading your phone.” Personally, I expect that the staff in any telephone store have better things to do than to spend their days flicking through any texts, photos or other miscellaneous bits of information they can get their hands on. As he partly admits in the next paragraph, Brooker’s opinions are heavily swayed by ‘sheer paranoia’.

Brooker’s target audience for this passage is hard to ...
