Epigraph

A new age does not begin all of a sudden.
My grandfather was already living in the new age
My grandson will probably still be living in the old one.

The new meat is eaten with the old forks.

It was not the first cars
Nor the tanks
It was not the airplanes over our roofs
Nor the bombers.

From new transmitters came the old stupidities.
Wisdom was passed on from mouth to mouth.

Priceless epigraph from Like a Razor to a Razor Blade Company by Jim Pomeroy— a remarkably accurate article about technology from 1984.
