Technologies

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 in 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 in 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, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy
