Don't know how women withstand the mental stimulation of so many winks, pokes and inane messages online: facebook, okcupid, twitter. Locked to a keyboard, no fear of carpal tunnel, we're jailed. Bank of America now has bullet proof glass surrounding their tellers. Whole Foods has computer monitors giving numbers of the next available cashier in a snaking airport security line, doors safely surrounded by glass partitions. The underlying theme of these designs is maximizing safety, controlling interaction with the public. It's unclear whether we feel the cynicism behind these societal changes.

But it begs the question: are we already trapped in the system? and how guilty am I for my own winks, pokes and inane messages online?
