Research by an
IT company this week has shown that the provision of electronic voting would
increase the turnout of local and European elections. Why stop there? What about
actually electrocuting politicians? Downtime does not suggest doing permanent
damage, obviously just a shock to the system for those dishonourable members who
have spent tax payers' hard earned money on... you know the rest (as much fun as
it is to recount these stories Downtime has had enough.) Downtime just thinks it
might be fair to give a few amperes for every £100
wasted.
Downtime was surprised to see that the latest contender in the beer Olympics comes from the IT department. With journalists the undoubted kings of alcohol excesses it was reassuring to see that the people Downtime writes for have similar issues. Downtime however has that old excuse "people relax when you drink and you get better stories" to rely on whereas failed IT projects and drinking probably have a high correlation coefficient. Maybe IT managers should be breathalysed when driving projects.
Not satisfied with driving round UK roads and photographing almost every household in the land Google is now turning to three wheels. Google wants to show people much more by using tricycles rather than cars. Downtime thinks that Google should consider using robotic insects so it can see the arse end of everywhere.
