Didn't Arthur C. Clarke say something about technology ?  Oh yeah, "In 
1962, in his book “Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of 
the Possible”, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated his 
famous Three Laws, of which the third law is the best-known and most 
widely cited: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable 
from magic”."
