From Tom Morris:

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
