Too often we try to hold present and future technologies to the standards of what came before. Sometimes this works out, but on the whole it can hold us back. We hide behind the guise of “but that’s how it’s always been done!” when in actuality, it’s because we’re too motivated by fear to branch out, learn, or explore the potential of a new thing.
We see this happen in film adaptations of books all the time. A well-meaning filmmaker will read the book and try to apply the exact same story structure and dynamics to the film, because what worked in the novel should work in the movie, right?
Wrong.
