‘Mail Goggles”

For those in the habit of drinking and e-mailing then Google’s new Gmail feature may help your logic.  Google’s  “Mail Goggles” is a series of simple tests that test your brain before you write that e-mail that you may regret in the morning.  Some of these brief quizzes include simple math problems to ensure that you write something stupid.  “If your logical thinking skills are intact, Google is betting you’re sober enough to work out the repercussions of sending that screed you just drafted.”  This is an example of the web interacting with our personal selves.  This feature could make or break a relationship with someone or help make one more capable of decision making or perhaps the least it would do would make you think twice about a situation.
