Our generation has far more advanced ways to embarrass ourselves and we are all for taking advantage of them.
After that first bottle of Shiraz or third glass of Texas Tea, it sometimes seems like a good idea to pour out every feeling you ever experienced about a certain person. If you are over drunk dialing, an text message is great, but an email is even better!
However, as you arise the next morning, wearing the same clothes and wondering why your face was glued to the keyboard, you begin to possibly regret emailing your mother pictures of your 21st birthday at that questionable establishment featuring scantily clad females. You decide that need NOT happen again.
Google agrees.
The innovative (particularly in recent months) Google employees have engineered an application that will (hopefully) prevent inebriated people from permanently scarring their reputations.
Mail Goggles is designed to halt any drunk emailing entirely. The application is simple: it makes you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind.
Unless you become a very fast, very talented math whiz while under the influence, Mail Goggles may be quite a force in drunk communication prevention.
Mail Goggles may be targeted at drunkies right now, but this could also help you not send that angry email to your mother-in-law or your boss...no matter what state of mind you are in. Emails are forever, after all.
Kudos Google, for identifying a problem of the everyday man and attempting to solve them.
