Extract from the book I am readin (Same as Ever)

HERE'S A TYPICAL path of how people respond to what eventually becomes a world-changing new technology:

•  Ive never heard of it.
• Ive heard of it but don't understand it.
• I understand it, but I don't see how it's useful.
• I see how it could be fun for rich people, but not me.
• I use it, but it's just a toy.
• It's becoming more useful for me.
• I use it all the time.
• Icould not imagine life without it.
• Seriously, people iived without it?
• I's too powerful and needs to be regulated
