So Gmail is now offering a new service, which automatically asks you to answer some basic math questions before hitting the send button if you happen so send an email out during late night hours. It is designed to prevent what used to be called drunk-dialing, what now takes the form of regrettable late night emails and text messages. If you happen to send out stupide emails without thinking at all hours of the day and regardless of your level of imbibing, you can set up the service to be functional at all hours, thereby giving you the chance to really think about your choice of words and emoticons.
The question is, can this service be put on your work email? How many poor choices of words, sending of random chain mails and deriding of fellow co-workers could have been prevented with this service? Might a few people still have their jobs today?
Now can gmail apply this service to your cell phone? It might be the antidote to our culture of immediate gratification and online all the time status.
