The Erosion of Choice

By HarryC on Fri, 20 Jun 2025

I’m one of an ever-diminishing minority in the UK. Maybe, even, the world. The western world, certainly – if research is to be believed. I don’t have...

Hi Jenny,

Hi Jenny,

You're like me, then. My phone often sits unused for days! I use it for making calls or texting, that's all. Most people contact me via email or Messenger. I've used platforms from the beginning. I was on MySpace for a while...

Posted on Sat, 14 Jun 2025

Yes, so many theories. The internet is awash with them - the world suddenly full of 'experts'. They should all just wait until the black box data has been analyzed and the investigation concluded. Then we can know for certain, and these people...

Posted on Sun, 08 Jun 2025

Yes... that was the point I was trying to make, Di. That horrendous plane crash in India today brings it into focus, too. All of it, captured and spread and consumed. And then all of the usual pundits flooding social media with their theories...

You've captured my own

Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025

You've captured my own feelings in this. We now have instant access to all the information we could ever need... but we seem no better-informed. Plenty misinformed, mind. I don't and never will have a smartphone, but already I'm finding the...

Posted on Sun, 08 Jun 2025

Agh! The kind of stuff that's plagued me for years. Decisions, decisions. And I've usually settled for the safe, 'in my comfort zone' option, too. I'd have gone for the chairs!

Yes, I agree. I watched a video the other day of a free concert REM gave in downtown Toronto in 2002. The streets were jam-packed. From the stage perspective, all you could see was a vast ocean of happy, smiling faces - people dancing, singing...

Posted on Wed, 04 Jun 2025
