The garbage that counts as 'invented' in 2010-present has a third of the thought, twice the expense, and mandatory dlc.

Yeah, that quote is starting to show it's age.

		The thing that's really interesting about quotes like these, and probably adds validity to the fact that they might not be true anymore is not just how outdated they are, but how young they likely are. Before the industrial revolution, things didn't change fast enough for this quote to be valid. Now they change too fast.

I certainly think both can be true, we can have different contexts of technology as we get on the train and go through this cycle Adams describes, as well as fundamentally disagree with a technology's marketing for fundamental reasons. Additionally you could be both and this isn't a conflict.
