New 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 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. [Douglas Adams, Peter Guzzardi, Terry Jones, The Salmon of Doubt] jont@ninelocks.com
