When I first heard that Fry was a big technology buff who not only owned a lot of technology but actually understood it, I was pleased but not overly surprised. I had imagined Fry as a kind of classic gentleman who never would get involved in such things, but he addresses that right out of the gate:

    Well, people can be dippy about all things digital and still read books, they can go to the opera and watch a cricket match and apply for Led Zeppelin tickets without splitting themselves asunder. Very little is as mutually exclusive as we seem to find it convenient to imagine. In our culture we are becoming more and more fixated with an “it’s one thing or the other” mentality. You like Thai food? But what’s wrong with Italian? Woah, there… calm down. I like both. Yes. It can be done. I can like rugby football and the musicals of Stephen Sondheim…

    I am glad Fry has not painted himself into a corner in his interests, and look forward to many interesting columns in the future.
