Thank you for saying this. It's always baffled me that people will decry ChangeX as unnatural and wrong when it happens in their lifetime, but happily build their lives upon NearlyIdenticalChangeY so long as it came before them.

“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.”

This is so accurate I'm offended.

We think of ourselves more intelligent than the generation before us, and more wise than the ones after.

Makes you wonder if that sort of dynamic between generations is ever going to be something that can be overcome. Maybe if humanity cures aging.
