On laptops next to the webcab, there should be an inbuilt breathalyzer.
Moment user logs on, it should instantly warn

Amazing photo!!!!
A friend on mine bought a new phone. First thing he does is download apps, facebook to begin with. After Installation a new page appears, Step 2 : find your phone contacts on facebook. He click on find friends, great feature he says to himself and sends multiple requests. One of the recepients, probably didn’t know my friend and I would like to believe so, finds it inappropiate behavior. He choses not to decline the request or ignore it but reports my friend to facebook admin.
Swift action from facebook follows and my friend is thrown out of facebook both from his laptop and phone simultaneously. He tries logging in. Twice he fails. Third time a message appears “Do not send friend request to someone you don’t know”
1. Cancel all friend requests
2. No, keep requests where I have common friend
I assume in times ahead we will be rated for behavior, conduct, language and accordingly monitered. Probably we already are, as I write this.
We live in interesting times….
last 24 years were painful but much needed. I was waiting for you. Now I can sleep peacefully. Thank you Clanmother.
Did you read about Instagram’s announcement today? Do catch up if you haven’t. You have a good day ahead.
Thank you!! Heading out into the rain. I must confess I don’t know that much about Instagram! I am still trying to figure out my phone. Aaagh….but I will look into it. Intellectual property rights will be an ongoing debate.

It appears that “big brother” is a bunch of tech nerds. ( no offence intended – tech nerds) Social media has become our news media. tweets are our jungle drums, and yes – every word is monitored. I think I’ll go read a book. (a real book with pages I turn)
Last two days they have been updating new features, what friends can see on my profile and what they can’t. Hideous.
I am quite notorious on facebook though. It’s my scrap book. My poems and updates when ignored, not liked by my friends, I take that as a sure shot hint, I got a winner -) Damn real friends, my virtual friends here are priceless and truly supportive.
Foto diferente…
Are you suggesting that Facebook is Big Brother? Love your last line.

Ha! Ha!
Success beyond imagination does makes one feel like big brother. That’s one of my points.
Broader observation is we are under scrutiny, that’s my hunch. Vulnerable to unfair checks.
Thank you. I’m glad you had your share of fun.
That’s a great picture, and slightly vertigo inducing too. I love it.
Thank you David.
Dear Arjun,
Loved this post and the picture, following you now, Looking forward to your words.
Aloha,
Doug
Thank you Doug.
I came across your link on David Stewart’s blog “Blogs he likes to read” I added you straight from there, while I continued reading his post.

I would definitely buy that Alcohol-warning- Breathalyzer- warning system, if it ever came to the market. Have made a few costly mistakes, ill-advised purchases and dire social gaffes in my time!
Ha Ha Ha…I was quite nervous putting this post up wondering how many out there would relate to my agony. Thank you so much. I enjoyed your comment more than writing this piece.
Sir, you figure out that Alcohol-Test App and it’ll be private jets for you all the way to Tahiti. Of course, i will expect the plane to pick me up on the way π
I dread that day. So I offered to work for the devil at his state-of-the-art theatre. I am his new projector man. In lieu of my service, he offered to put a stay on further development of this device. We should meet someday though.
Hell yeah! One should never turn down a beer with a poet!
Yes. A poet from India will tell you hilarious stories of a million gods in my country, more fuel for your writing
I like the Indian deities. Hell, if you’re going to create one god you might as well build 33 million like the ancient vedas did.
Hey, do you know much about the Vedic grammarian, YΔska? I know a little but i’d like to learn more. The man should have statues erected to him in every city in every country.
Wow, I must say, you are quite well-read, aware of events and people across the globe which is quite obvious in your posts but I had no clue, you had touched base with Indian mythology and more importantly vedas. Some basic learnings from those scriptures, Guru Nanak, Einstein and Spinoza I have formed my beliefs. Hence I love reading your posts.
I’m a fan of YΔska. I hate self-promotion but read this post of mine, he makes a staring role. It’s longish, so whenever you have a spare few minutes.

Hehe, what a funny short.. what-ever it is π This breathalyzer sounds like no fun though :-p PS: The second I saw I got my 100th follower (very very proud, yes!) I knew I was going to follow that person.. So happy it was you π Very nice posts, those I’ve seen so far!
WoW. That’s a privilege I shall cherish forever. Thank you for liking my posts. I’ll see more of you here on!
Hilarious! There is such a device actually. It asks you to perform simple tasks and if you can’t do them, logs you off your computer for x amount of time….whatever the user chooses, hopefully when sober!
ha ha..so true. We deal with the world we live in via computer or a phone and if they can monitor our actions, we got a true friend by our side!
hahaha… and what about phone calls to your ex’s after sufficient amount of alcohol in blood? should have an analyzer for phone too!
and love the picture!
Ah! They have saved my number on their contact list as Arjun Bagga Avoid π
Wow ! this is very brilliant and creative thing. I enjoy it…. Thank you for sharing
