ENGLISH philosopher and essayist Francis Bacon once said: "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."
He coined that phrase in 1625, in a book titled Essays, following which he received well-deserved praise for his genius in the English language.
Fast forward some four centuries later, and I am about to appropriate that phrase to describe an item of 21st century life that Bacon would probably not have conceived of in the slightest.
