It's funny how new technologies can have a sort of intoxicating effect on people. There's a strange, almost irresistible urge to incorporate the latest technology into everything. Remember internet-connected refrigerators? Back in 1930s France, the latest and most exciting thing was the airplane, and the urge to put plane tech in cars was intense, like the urge to stick a web browser in a fridge. In this case, though, it was even more terrible and dangerous than reading web pages on fridges.
