Why people react differently to technology

A post on commoncraft.com quotes Douglas Adams' theory on why people react differently to technology. So funny, so true.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
