The human reaction to technologies...

I came across this quote from Douglas Adams, author of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (among other books), and I thought it was worth mentioning in this blog:

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

I'm glad I'm still in that new and exciting phase! lol
