Choose a talisman from the modern world. There are many available. For instance you could quietly say the word "qwerty" under your breath while at the supermarket. Wear a USB mini-drive around your neck and give it a polish if you start to feel anxious. Somebody had written into a popular weekly journal asking why some birds sound like telephones. I would have thought that the answer to that question would have been perfectly obvious. The only real issue on my mind is how soon until ALL native species, not just the Tui, go polyphonic. I expect to be able to have broadband access through penguins now. In fact, I insist on it. I thought NZ was supposed to be some glorious testing ground for AV communication technology. Anyway, though, I'm hopeful. It's only a certain amount of time before polymer research will change each and every one of our lives. Pack your cleansuits, chums!
