• Why we need the internet and other technologies

2
I suppose earlier generations had to sit through
all this huffing and puffing with the invention
of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car,
the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but
you would think we would learn the way these
things work, which is this Everything thats
already in the world when youre born is just
normal Anything that gets invented between then
and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting
and creative and with any luck you can make a
career out of it Anything that gets invented
after youre thirty is against the natural order
of things and the beginning of the end of
civilisation as we know it until its been around
for about ten years when it gradually turns out
to be alright really. Douglas Adams
