Technology And Moral Panic

OK, call me lazy. Go ahead, really - say it out loud (so that your cube-mates question your fragile grip on reality) - "You are sooooooooooo friggin' lazy, James!" Why? Well, instead of expending the neural electricity to "think" or "write something", I'm just going to post a link to something someone else wrote. An Interweb version of "re-gifting", if you will...

Women And Children First: Technology And Moral Panic - Tech Europe - WSJ

But seriously, that right there is a really nice, short little op-ed eye-opener. Feed the computer in your head - read it!!!

Obligatory favorite quote:

There was some wonderful stuff about [railway trains] too in the U.S., that women’s bodies were not designed to go at 50 miles an hour. Our uteruses would fly out of our bodies as they were accelerated to that speed.

Thank you, WSJ!!! Articles about flying uterii are always welcome here!
