There are many media people living in their London-centric bubble (a.k.amedia-land) who as Andy's email said, are totally ignorant of the basics of modern technology.

It's a mistake to assume that you have to know how a PC works in order to understand the impact of technology on culture. It's rather like saying that no one can be an urban planner without being able to also construct an internal combustion engine. Besides, if there are meeja prima donnas and wannabe luvvies (on this list
or otherwise)
No ad hominem attacks there, then. I could, of course, start talking about arrogant techies who think they know it all - but I'll refrain.
