New Words Needed for Emerging Social Behaviors
Automatic? by Gregory P. Smith
That long pause when you expect automation and then realize that you have to manually work the faucet or hand dryer.
When people are clustered together looking at a computer screen and the person at the keyboard has to type a password and everyone looks away to give the person “privacy.”
Asking permission to smoke an e-cigarette inside.
Ambiguity not conveyed by the range within “like.”
