Geek wisdom: Whenever someone tries to create some new innovation, the people who are stuck to the old ways will try to stop them. It doesn’t matter if it will better the world, as long as it threatens the way they do things, they will treat that person like a monster.
We have to think of the future, even though people will try to stop you. Progress is always better than following traditions blindly.
