Technology View• Anything that is in the world when you were
born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural way the world works.
• Anything that is invented between the time when you are 15 to 35 is new, revolutionary, and exciting, and you can possibly get a career in it.
• Anything invented after you are 35 is against the natural order of things.
» Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
