gollark: 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.
gollark: There's some Douglas Adams quote...
gollark: But they obviously define "technology" as "*new* technology", and don't include, say, the power grid.
gollark: - an awfully large amount of people
