Quote Of The Day

Considering some of the conversations and meetings I’ve had today, this quote by Douglas Adams keeps sticking in my head:
1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
2) 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;
3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
In fact, I’ve wondered lately if Douglas Adams was actually mortal, and not really a living god here only to poke fun at us and amuse himself. Admittedly, unless reports of this death have been greatly exaggerated, his expiration puts a bit of a downer on that theory.
