My early teens were spent largely online, and it allowed me to connect with people from all over the world. I would be a lesser person if I was restricted to only knowing the people geographically close to me.

This just increases the impact of the birth postcode lottery. And will continue this country’s decline backwards instilling more insular and xenophobic attitudes.

I've included a link to a youtube video I created a few years ago. It shows an animation of a double-slit diffraction experiment with individual photons being recorded so you can see how the interference pattern becomes discernible as more and more photons are detected. Each detector has a finite width so the result is a bit choppy.

For the UK, it now seems that children interested in science will not be able to view this "dangerous" video.
