Google doesn't let you drink and email


Google has a new product to address what apparently seems to be a growing problem- the drunken emails. In this age of ‘perpetual digital connectedness’, I guess the demand for measures to prevent embarrassing online drunken ramblings have grown. ‘Mail Googles’ prevent you from sending those embarrassing emails by requiring you to do a series of math problem before allowing you to do so. The math problems are simple arithmetic problems although you can control the difficulty levels which range from Level 1 to 5. Basically, if you’re sober enough to do a math problem then you’re sober enough to send that email. It’s definitely a novel idea, one I wish cellphone companies had also come up with. Google never fails to amaze me, wonder what it will come out with next.
