Hi, Pablo here
Tech fascination as a function of your age
Published: 2026-05-11
A long time ago I read a quote that I find hilariously accurate. At first it stuck with me because it was funny. Then as time passed, I observed it was actually very accurate. I mistakenly thought the quote was commonly known in the world, and today I realised apparently it isn't, and I can't find it posted anywhere. So I'm storing it here for the future. The quote roughly looked like this:
Any technology that existed before you turned 18 is just boring, regular old stuff that has always been there since the world was born and doesn't matter much.
Any technology that appears while you are between 18 and 30 years old is a revolution like the world has never seen before, will change the universe in ways mankind can't even fathom and deserves your entire devotion.
Any technology that appears after you've hit 30 is black magic and heresy, and you will never truly understand it.
