Sir Elton John has seen the internet, and he wants to turn it off. “I do think it would be an incredible experiment,” he says, “to shut down the internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced in that span.” While this statement demonstrates an admirable grasp of the way the whole thing works, it is just possible that Sir Elton has not considered all the implications of his daring five-year plan. Doesn’t he realise what would happen?
