“I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technology”:
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 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you’re 35 is against the natural order of things.
Another one that I am more reserved about is AI. I don't think AI is a bad area of study by itself, but I do fear silly leaders putting decision making into the hands of computers and those computers making very reasonable sounding really stupid decisions with incredible speed.
