This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I like to watch train wrecks, but I don’t want to be in a train wreck.
Are you sure? Have you ever been in a train wreck before? Maybe it's fun!
Update: I just googled "train wrecks" and, while it doesn't look fun, who really knows for sure?
Well no, and I’ve never seen a live train wreck either. In general I’m fascinated by disasters. The people around me can all be freaking out and I’m like ‘wow this is amazing’. However train wrecks, airplane crashes, and high speed auto wrecks are all obviously dangerous enough so that I in fact have no desire for a first hand experience.
I did a study about that once. The only conclusion I could really make is that people involved in train wrecks don't like participating in post experiment questionnaires. Though on the bright side, their refusal to answer the questionnaire meant we could sue their families for the cost of the train because being in train wrecks is also apparently associated with not reading contracts.
Science is hard.
