3. The internet isn’t going anywhere
“…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
