Technology sometimes shoots itself in foot
So my 18-year-old son is looking for an apartment. We go on a site that has pictures of apartments and see one that is of interest. It looks bright, clean, spacious.
He makes an appointment, goes downstairs, and finds the apartment is the size of a dollhouse.
On the one hand, the ability to put pictures online enhances the user experience of searching for a place to rent. On the other hand, he and I will never look at apartment pictures online again without wondering just how wide was the wide-angle lens that took the picture. The benefit of a technology is rarely as strraighforward a proposition as it seems.

Aha…some landlords will stoop to any lengths to rent you an overpriced closed. Be on the lookout for the ones that advertise a clean, freshly painted unit with new appliances and then attempt to rent you the one with holes in the wall and hot and cold running vermin.
