  • The internet has turned us into zombies

    The internet spreads out like a virus. As it becomes ubiquitous, so are its influences. The same slang is shared in all fifty states through the influence of social media, the same arguments are repeated online by people in disparate corners of faraway states, and gradually, the same manner of dress is adopted almost universally.

    I have been involved with the petroleum industry for over four decades. I do not recollect a more combustible, contrarian and confusing complex of forces bearing on it than those today. It has never been easy to call the timing and rate of change of oil prices. This is because they are influenced by the non-fundamentals of geopolitics, exchange rates, speculators and the predilections of corporate and political leaders. The direction of change has, however, been easier to foretell because it was...
