Pause For Thought

From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:

I鈥檝e been reading an 80-year-old book, by the first Chief Engineer of the 大象传媒, Peter Eckersley. And some of his premonitions in it are weirdly accurate about technology.聽In 1941, he wrote... 鈥淚 have a dream about the future. Against the wall is a translucent screen, with many different programmes, heard by just pressing the corresponding聽button, on a remote control.鈥�

Peter goes on: predicting cable, high-definition TV... even a device that has news headlines sent to it. From flatscreen TVs to the 大象传媒 News app... he sees it all coming. Apparently, he鈥檇 badgered colleagues back in 1926(!) to make this tech. The timing wasn鈥檛 right 鈥� it took another half-century or so.聽It seems Eckersley鈥檚 obsession... was choice. He urged 大象传媒 top brass to make local and national shows, with different聽styles 鈥� informal for local, formal for national, he suggested. (I don鈥檛 know how formal you think of yourself today Zoe!) He craved different genres at the push of a button, depending on your mood.聽As a churchgoer 鈥� or lately, a church-can鈥檛-goer 鈥� that flatscreen TV Eckersley predicted, has offered me virtual Sunday services. That choice he wanted has arrived, with thousands of possible online churches, or book groups, exercise videos, art clubs, ballet lessons (my daughter, not me) 鈥� all things we used to turn off our devices to go and do.

By contrast, techno-prophet Eckersley would have had two 大象传媒 radio channels, and no television.聽But choice means I鈥檓 at the mercy of my mood. The other week I browsed a few different church services 鈥� 鈥淭hey鈥檝e got a fancy orchestra...鈥� 鈥淥oh, high-definition...鈥� 鈥淟ook at the bookshelf behind that vicar 鈥� he must be well-read...鈥� I鈥檓 happy to say, I鈥檝e returned to my local church鈥檚 live-stream. Our vicar鈥檚 also well-read 鈥� he just doesn鈥檛 need the bookcase to prove it.聽Choice is a marvellous thing,聽but...聽sometimes, I choose to stop choosing. I spent years church-hopping, channel-hopping, not settling at classes and clubs. But I never found happiness flitting around. Happiness, for me, means home, and home means stopping somewhere long enough.

Especially now, we crave to know the future, or at least guess it like Peter Eckersley did. In the meantime, the comfort and community of the familiar, means sometimes I鈥檒l leave the channel-change button 鈥� and instead just hit 鈥榩ause鈥�.
