Drunk E-mails

Have you ever done something while you were intoxicated that you later regretted the following morning? For those of you that have said yes, I am sure it has involved things done through text messages, phone calls, e-mails, etc. There is good news, Google is taking measures into their own hands. Google has created a setting under g-mail, called Mail Goggles, which will allow users to take preventative measures against drunk messaging. It is named Mail Goggles after the phrase 'beer goggles'. When a user wants to send a e-mail, normally the setting kicks in at night, he or she will have to solve a few math problems before being allowed to send the e-mail. Google feels that if you are able to solve a few simple math problems then you are considered sober.

I feel that what Google is doing is a great idea but in reality is going to do little in preventing people from saying things which they will later regret. If a person wants to respond to or construct an email to a person, like an ex-girlfriend, and fails the test under the g-mail account, they will simply find other means of messaging such as other e-mail accounts, text messaging, phone calls, etc. Also, if a person does not solve the simple math problems when prompted by g-mail, they can simply go into their settings and turn off the preventative measure. Again, it is a great idea but it has too many ways around it around it to be reasonable in thinking that someone will not message something which they will later regret.
