Friend of mine - a top stage technician who often helped corporations create presentations for trade shows (his story about having to create a shipping crate that "... looked more like a shipping crate than a real shipping crate ..." for an IBM product introduction was priceless) had a button that said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo."scantrontb wrote:"Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don't understand it".Jabberwonky wrote:"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."KnightDelight wrote:The more I hear from the Library, the more it seems like a machine. I mean, energy probes? Detectors? It may have a degree of sentience, but it stills seems to be a machine.
