Sheesh, kids today. As I watch the proliferation of Echo and other sorts of hackable 1984 home installations I think, "Am I just doing my usual late-adopter thing, and these are really cool and not creepy at all?" And then I think: Naaaahhhhh. Plenty of time to change my mind later, but Imma thinking later will never come. The Internet of Things seems to me to have incomprehensible potential for mischief.

I was wondering about the car model myself. When I was a little girl and my older siblings were teenagers, people had ENORMOUS cars, and there was a lot of hanky-panky going on in those big old cars, both in the front seats, which were always bench seats, and in the back seats. But today I would think you have to be a Little Person, a contortionist or an Olympic-class gymnast to have enjoyable sex in a car. I have not tried it myself, but it does not surprise me that it requires drugs and alcohol.
