“The typical path of how people respond to life-changing inventions

1. I’ve never heard of it.

2. I’ve heard of it but don’t understand it.

3. I understand it, but I don’t see how it’s useful.

4. I see how it could be fun for rich people, but not me.

5. I use it, but it’s just a toy.

6. It’s becoming more useful for me.

7. I use it all the time.

8. I could not imagine life without it.

9. Seriously, people lived without it?

10. It’s too powerful and needs to be regulated”
