Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Morris Dancing
This book seeks to capture the confusion of evolution that humans are creating with communication and the abrogation of thinking to electronic “brains”. It is also about the English language which, when used correctly, is rich and provides for every expression. Nearly every day a politician, businessman, marketing guru, media reporter or life coach (whatever that is) introduces a new piece of mangled meaningless jargon which becomes first “trendy”, and then, sadly, part of the language. The reference to Morris Dancing simply aims to capture the decline in quaint traditions through the overdominance of virtual reality and alternative and "simpler" ways. The book is a collection of alternative meanings for words, phrases, proverbs along with some expanded opinions and is aimed to be a tongue in cheek reflection of the misuse of English language and on modern society.
