Growing older is basically just trying to prove Douglas Adams wrong. In this famous quote, he describes how people react to new technologies. «[…] Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.» I try to keep a sense of awe and wonder even after passing his threshold, and let myself become excited about new opportunities rather than turning into a grumpy nostalgic tech-boomer. Lists like this help — so many interesting things to discover.
