The Gmail team has just added a novel feature to one of the world’s most popular online email platforms: mail goggles. The intention of this weirdly named feature? To add another layer of prevention against the accidental sending out of a poorly worded or poorly timed email.
Gmail Goggles works by allowing you to specify a time when you are likely to be less alert and in control of yourself(etc drunken Friday/Saturday nights). Everytime you attempt to send an email during that time, Gmail will request that you answer a series of maths problems within a certain time limit before your mail is sent – Hopefully that helps to prevent another occurrence of the time you emailed your boss and presented an ultimatum – a raise or you quit.
