We’re living in Wonderland. Does it strike anyone as strange that now we have
all these means of communicating electronically, we need more conference
centres, and ‘vast’ ones at that, so we can communicate physically as well?
And
that at the same time we’re urged not to waste fossil fuels on unnecessary
travel, especially by air? And that when these thousands of people get together
to confer physically, they’ll have their heads down conferring electronically,
like our MPs during the reading of the Budget? As Alice remarked, ‘Curiouser and
curiouser!’
