[A]l igual que un soneto, no hay nada más difícil de escribir que un manual técnico. Ya sé, ustedes se reirán, dirán que cualquiera alcanza a redactar el prospecto de un medicamento o las explicaciones de uso de una lavadora. Inténtenlo a ver si pueden, experimenten para que vean cuán difícil es hacer un folleto de instrucciones y que éste no contenga la misma cantaleta aburrida y falta de gracia que tienen tantos otros. Se percatarán entonces de cuán arduo resulta no parecer demasiado didácticos ni petulantemente profesorales, para evitar que el aburrimiento haga desistir a los lectores.

Basically, we are outsourcing our brains to the cloud. The upside is that this frees a lot of gray matter for important pursuits like FarmVille and “Real Housewives.” But my inner worrywart wonders whether the new technologies overtaking us may be eroding characteristics that are essentially human: our ability to reflect, our pursuit of meaning, genuine empathy, a sense of community connected by something deeper than snark or political affinity.

We must start shaping a progressive English nationalism that we can be proud of – as the Scots did in the 1970s
