Half geek - half luddite
I am a contradiction.
On one hand I love broadband, but I also love food the old slow way.
I love apple computers, but as for the apples I eat, well, I don't want them to be sprayed with chemicals.
I love the fact that e-mail lets me to talk to the world, but I like to shop local for our vegetables.
I love digital photography but as for my daily bread I want that to made without adding fat just to make it last longer on a supermarket shelf.
I love wireless technology, but I don't want us to take more fish out the sea than the sea can support.
I love my bike that lets me go so fast down a mountain, but I don't want us to plant the land with GM crops.
I love texts on my mobile, but I wonder where all the sparrows have gone.
I guess I love that geeky stuff that makes my life easier, as we all do.
But I think there's a place for technology and science.
Yup, let it be in our computers, our cameras, our gadgets etc.
But I don't think technology or science should be in the food we eat.
I think they should leave our food alone.
Keep our food simple, old fashioned and good tasting.
There goes the Luddite in me again
