Joe isn't about computers or networks; it's about everybody owning a monkey's paw[1]. The setting is a vaguely scifi, but the story would work as well with garden-variety genies or some such - wish-granting entities that aren't too concerned with the consequences of granting the wish, and wish-makers who can't think through the easiest and most effective way of granting a wish. (Try thinking about the usual three wishes, and try making them bullet-proof/idiot-proof/watertight and only beneficial.)
