For as long as civilization has advanced, people have been wary of advancements. Of course, many advancements are worthy of criticism, but many waves of moral panic are just unfounded.
As Douglas Adams wrote, “Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
