since this is apparently from Ask a Ninja, then it should be obvious that all technology could and should (when appropriate) be also used as a weapon. It all depends on what happens to be around and what sort of damage you feel like doling out. Naturally older technology would have done a lot more damage, with it generally being bigger and bulkier, and there being a lot more cords and wires to strangle someone with, but the good old office and home-office standby’s still work, like your “World’s Greatest Mom” coffee mug and any pens you may have lying around, and we all know how accidentily stapling yourself hurts, so why not turn that around and on-purposely staple your enemies. Practice your Office Fu in your offtime and impress and intimidate your co-workers. You might be more likely to get the promotion if your boss is afraid that you might lose it and throw the all in one printer/fax machine/scanner/copier at them. And your company can save on the bottom line by no longer needing security. It’s a win win situation for everyone.
