I think that the seamlessness of the technology is seen as a reflection on the self. ie My tech toy is perfect and so I must be, too and/or the other way around: the flawlessness of the toy is my imperfect me's perfect avatar. We perfect types bond together. Especially, since the gizmo's to which this psychology applies are those used socially. My son's girlfriend never complains if their wifi isn't the same as those of other couples.
