Interesting observations in your references. I'm at a loss, however, to understand why the computer has become (to the degree it appears to be) a conduit for "action" and emotion not unleashed, to the same degree, as other machines (e.g., the telephone). But on second thought, perhaps aggressive behaviour behind the wheel of a car is somewhat analagous.
