Yes.
When elevators were invented you took the stairs.
When the Stanely Steamer moved people around you rode your horse.
There are people like you in every generation, technology has always scared people.
When people learned how to control fire, you froze to death.
But now these times, not the 100,000 years of human existence before, these times, are the real mark of catastrophe.
Why? Because these are YOUR times. The most catastrophic events must occur NOW and in YOUR near future because YOU are present.
Have you see the Jetsons?
