Using outdated tally clickers for audience counting is inefficient and frustrating.
Özet
In a humorous yet exasperated tone, the author recounts their experience of being handed a tally clicker to count the audience at an auditorium. The author, who usually enjoys free performances as a stage manager, is taken aback by this archaic device that counts up one by one with each click. They express frustration at the inefficiency of using such prehistoric technology in today's world where advanced options like software databases exist. The author humorously compares the experience to starting a fire with damp leaves or traveling across continents in a car with square wheels. They question why new technologies or simple lists couldn't be used instead of this tedious method. Feeling like part of the "clicker society," the author highlights the absurdity of using such outdated tools in modern times.
