La corretta citazione

UNA FRASE DI Douglas Adams proveniente da una intervista del 2001 (poco prima di morire) e che è stata sintetizzata in maniera un po' brusca. Vale la pena riprenderla, perché dice di più anche nella sostanza:

Money Quote: “Now that we’ve built computers, first we made them room size, then desk size and in briefcases and in pockets, soon they’ll be as plentiful as dust - you can sprinkle computers all over the place. Gradually, the whole environment will become something far more responsive and smart, and we’ll be living in a way that’s very hard for people living on the planet just now to understand,” Adams said. “I guess my six-year-old daughter will get a much better handle on it. There’s a set of rules that anything that was in the world when you were born is normal and natural. Anything invented between when you were 15 and 35 is new and revolutionary and exciting, and you’ll probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re 35 is against the natural order of things.”
