We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow

    What if she did it with a Scottish burr?

    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    I think that woman needs her own talk show.

    Below is a reminder of how quickly things can change. Are you ready?


    Take a look at this picture of 5th Avenue in New York in 1900. Can you spot the car?


    Now look at this picture from 1913. Yes, this time where's the horse?


    In 1908 the first Model T Ford rolled off the production line; by 1930 the equestrian age was, to all intents and purposes, over - and all thanks to the disruptive power of an earlier tech innovation - the internal combustion engine.

    I've been reading a book about how it is possible that democracy will wane in the 21st century. The author makes the point that when economic inequality is high, the wealthy lose trust in democracy. The opposite holds true for the poor. Young millennials from well-to-do backgrounds, in particular, express growing frustration with democracy and growing admiration for autocratic rule. In 10 years, those are the people who will be bossing you around. What does that have to do with a technological revolution? Here's one possibility form the book..

    "As we cross the frontier to swarm drones and robot soldiers, the rich will have less need of large-scale civilian armies — a key reason they expanded the franchise in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Science fiction likes to depict a dystopia in which the robots have taken over. A less fantastical idea is that the robots will indeed take over. But it will be at the behest of a narrow elite of human masters."

    From "The Retreat of Western Liberalism" by Edward Luce
