I hate the kneejerk response from broadcasters to treat "announcement by politician, therefore it's a politics story". This is a tech and enterprise story being announced by the PM. Do the tech and enterprise angle.

I'm continuing to bet that caring about the details, purpose, a focus on process and assets/tools, and continuous improvement will beat making it up as one goes along + random word generators.
If random word generators help, we will of course fit them into the process as just another tool

I'm least confident about 2, but as the diagram shows, if it really works, of course everyone is going to be using it.
My strongly-held beliefs are that processes matter, tools are tools, and creating relationships is what matters most and that's a very human activity.

when we go back to an internet of homepages we will need a good tool to index and search them. I hope it's possible

The endless creep of adding tips drives me mad. I stayed at a posh hotel for a night in the summer and they had the absolute cheek to tell me they'd add 5% to my bill as a "discretionary service charge". I think the very fuck not: I was already paying a fair whack for service. They took it off.
