About Me

Curiously, "communication" once meant what we now call intercourse, while "intercourse" once meant what we now call communication.
- John Durham Peters, Speaking Into the Air

The modern world offers or alerts us to more potential pleasures and displeasures; more things to stay focused on but more to be distracted by; more to buy and more not to afford; more chances to express individuality and yet more immersion in the crowd; more chances of intimacy and more of distance; more to withdraw from and more to suffer withdrawal symptoms from; more to be sensitised by but more to be de-sensitised by... simply more opportunities and more opportunities missed.
- John Hind, Constant Cravings, The Observer
