>In his introduction to the survey, spiked's editor-at-large Mick 
>Hume says: 'Some choose "sexy" looking innovations, others apologise 
>for the apparent dullness of their arcane choices. But whatever the 
>appearances, almost all of our respondents exude a sense of 
>certainty about the improvement that innovations in their field are 
>making to our world, and the potential for more of the same.' Read
