• I used to particularly like science fiction among a wide array of arts, culture and sports. Unfortunately it now seems like I can't watch mainstream arts or even sports without having politics rammed down my throat at every junction. I appreciate that politics has always been present in the arts, but it's now so blatant and unsubtle that it detracts from culture.
    I suspect science fiction used to be far more of a playground for ideas whereas now it seems it is only pushing specific ones.

    Bad science, and bad data drives bad policy and there is plenty of bad science... see Ben Goldacres excellent book...

    I think it's worrying that corporations like Google may end up knowing more about my children than I do. Now that is a scary thought!
    If you agree that knowledge is power then that's a hell of a lot of power to give to a global corporation. As well intentioned as people in a corporation can be, ultimately it's goal is to make money for it's staff and stakeholders.
    I really want to make sure that my children have the balance right between fresh air, exercise and technology.

    I can see social responsibility being built in to technology and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a scary thing or a bit of both!
