About This Quote
The people of the past feared ideas that were new and different. For example, when the first airplanes flew in the skies, people thought it was an invention straight out of science fiction. Even when it became apparent that airplanes could take people to faraway places, most people still thought it was impossible. When the smartphone came out, many people were afraid of it because they didn't understand how it worked. Nowadays, most people use their smartphones every day without even realizing how amazing they are.
