Having been so impressed by the various tools of modern social media, I decided that it was time for me to go solo and launch my own cyber-existence, so I decided to create my blog online and communicate with the world that way, and in difference to Facebook and Twitter, blogs allow me to express myself with much more space and range, which is so important in the modern technological world. I believe that it is important to express one views, and to have the ability to do so effectively should be a priority in modern education. There are many interesting things happening in the world constantly, and although I have never subscribed to the view of 'the world is beautiful' etc, which strikes me as deeply innocent and naive, I do believe that the world we inhabit is extremely interesting with many things waiting to be explored and analysed by us, even if they are not what we want to know (or maybe we do want to know). I have blogged on a variety of issues, namely linguistics/languages, history/politics, literature/drama, numbers/mathematics and philosophy/reflexion. Please follow my blog if you are interested in what I have to say, even if you do not agree with it (!).
