This is an interesting quote by the late Douglas Adams, wonder what the forum makes of it...
I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when youre born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when youre 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.
