{{smallcaps|{{Cocklecarrot}}}}: The information revolution has wrought transformations upon our society the like of which have not been seen since Thomas Savory invented the steam turbine in 1698. The internet has, as never before, vouchsafed the capacity to every man, woman and child, to publish to the world whatever pops into their heads. It has had ghastly consequences. Businesses rapidly emerged to take advantage of our natural craving for public approval. Mature professionals in positions of some responsibility cannot take the air without connexion to a device.
