The mistake every person who resists change because "we never did it that way before" is in thinking that the future belongs to them-- it doesn't.

Absolutely brilliant post
So true about so many things. Most people cling to the familiar, and refuse to see that change is the way of the world. There are still groups that refuse to use an automobile, and instead use a horse and buggy. But over time, the outdated technology's become nothing more than curiosity's.
I bet somewhere there is still a little sect still using scrolls.....
