When Old Meets New
Mon, Aug 18th, 2008
Technophobia is the fear of technology. If you hear the words “text messaging” and the first thought you have is the electric telegraph, then you might not appreciate this comic by Roz Chast. If the fear of new technology hasn’t gotten to you yet, just give it some time. Eventually you’ll get settled in your ways and then it will get you. It’s best summed up by a favorite quote of mine from the Simpsons:
Abe Simpson- “I used to be ‘with it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’, and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.”
It’ll happen to you.
