We live in an era which, rather than expanding our horizons, seems increasingly intent on narrowing the life of the mind. We have, in effect, returned to a digital telegraph: curt lines flung across glowing screens. ---------- The author is Pablo Mera, - Pablo E.M.G. to the English-speaking world—though a few old friends still call him “Trompo.” He adores Metallica and Oasis, he is still a rugger at heart, blood type A+, and he published over 13,000 posts upon his blog: http://pablomera.blogspot.com.
