I think that is too harsh. I agree that "change sucks" and even though we might revel in the new possibilities, everyone is naturally stressed by the extremely rapid rate of technological and social change. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, author of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": Every useful technology invented before you turn 20 is absolutely essential to life. Every useful technology invented before you turn 25, will be grudgingly incorporated into your daily life. But one naturally feels that every technology invented after you turn 25, COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE DEVIL! Speak for yourself. At 72 I'm still ****ed I don't have a flying car.
