dogging, toothing, and suchlike…

This article [www.wired.com] explains why a colleague asked me whether I knew of the term dogging – which I did not, being a geek in the traditional sense – and it seems that the meme has now morphed into toothing, anonymous sex arranged by bluetooth phones.

It might be going on in the UK, but I wouldn’t say it’s headline news, nor is it a resurrection of the swinging sixties in cyberspace; those of us who are old enough to remember the Tamagotchi cyberpet craze may also remember simultaneous memes from that era of Japanese matchmaking via short-range wireless devices.

Don’t I remember just saying that it’s deja-vu all over again?
