One of the things that was particularly annoying about PCs back at the dawn of the computer age was the fact that your various peripheral devices often didn’t “play nicely” with your desktop (and later, laptop). You bought a new printer, plugged it in, and . . . it didn’t work. Turns out you had to install the “printer driver” before you could even plug it in. Then, often, it turned out “printer driver” needed a software update. This often required a phone call to the support people to find the location of the update because the system wasn’t smart enough to find it automatically. Then you needed to get a CD mailed to you via snail mail, because the “printer driver” couldn’t be downloaded; etc. You know the drill.
Nowadays, thank heaven, that stuff has been mitigated quite a bit. It can still be dicey, but your toys generally play together better now than they used to. Sometimes though it’s still a chore. For example, when you take photos on your iPhone and want to display them on a larger screen it is not always so easy. That’s what Scalado is trying to fix:
