  3. The introduction of new technology is always disruptive to old markets, and particularly to those copyright owners whose works are sold through well-established distribution mechanisms. History has shown that time and market forces often provide equilibrium in balancing interests, whether the new technology be a player piano, a copier, a tape recorder, a video recorder, a personal computer, a karaoke machine or an MP3 player.

  4. If your brain is always multitasking, or responding to technoprompts, there is no time or energy for undirected mental play. Furthermore, if you are consumed by the same information loop circulating around everyone else, you don't have anything to stimulate you into thinking differently. ... You don't have access to unexpected knowledge. You're just swept along in the same narrow current as everyone else, which is swift but not deep.

  6. We have had our annual monitoring day today, where we log and photograph the conditions of all of the assets in our care at the Wemyss coast.
    Caves, paths (not the Fife Coastal Path) and carvings.
    And the weather was mostly wonderful, although the most recent storms have made the paths pretty tricky to navigate in places.
    Looking forward to welcome visitors back for tours from the 7th April!
