Alarming Technology

Douglas Adams in his double trilogy
'The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy'
wrote about friendly lifts that struck up
conversations with the people they conveyed,
as they all ascended or descended the building.
Nowadays where we have cars that 'talk' to us.
They register any significant weight on the seats
and when any person does not put on their seat belt
within thirty seconds the car quietly goes 'beep beep...'
after the first thirty seconds the noise gets louder
and after another thirty seconds gets louder still,
and the volume keeps increasing until the car wails
'I want my mummy' and seeks return to it's manufacturer.
