It's never been more problematic. Well, we all know about cars and sex. Well, my boyfriend walks everywhere.
Cars engage the mind and body and set both in motion.
Computers absorb the mind, leaving the body to rot. Cars are modern, computers postmodern. The body is ensconced at the control board of a vehicle, its range of movements restricted by molded parts that contour it, trace its parameters, and subject it to highly disciplinary regiments. It might be traveling in a convertible, lodged behind a dashboard and windshield, or it might be traveling in a process of convertibility, lodged behind a keyboard and monitor. In each case small semi-automatic motions generate enormous changes in an outside world that configures on the glass.
