Arthur C. Clarke

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: 1.It’s completely impossible. 2.It’s possible, but it’s not worth doing. 2. I said it was a good idea all along. It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society. The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
