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 invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

# 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.

Time is the worst place, so to speak, to get lost in, as Arthur Dent could testify, having been lost in both time and space a good deal. At least being lost in space kept you busy.
