  Why doesn't technology work properly in dreams?

  You may find this of interest. ”In dreams, inanimate objects can easily take on personalities and other forms of animation. Technology is stupid in the sense that it is an extension of our will and does what we want it to, or ends up in a junk yard. As the direct result of humankind’s poor planning, some cities are drowning in their own waste. In dreamland, the pushy use of will and domination is less likely to work the same way as in the material world. Thus inventions and technologies like our toaster, our cars and our phones are less likely to be extensions of our will and more likely to be representations of our relationship to will and willpower. If I had a dream where mechanical things weren’t working, I would see this as an opportunity to come into relationship with my own will (and by extension, technologies) in a different way. For example, I might consider the possibility that I am pushing way too hard and using technology to extend my brute will. I might look for other alternatives for dealing with my world, shifting my focus to cooperation and away from domination.” The author is basically taking your point about how recent technology is to our culture and expanding on it.

  How do I nicely tell my already-shunned best friend that there's no room for her in my New Year's Eve plans?

  I think that if she’s going to be otherwise alone on NYE you should probably incorporate her into your plans somehow. I’m sure she’s do the same for you. Otherwise just do as already suggested by @SpatzieLover
