Fly through the air, flash a plastic card & be given food; turn a switch and light bursts forth. I tell students: in other times the powers at our command would have been associated with omnipotent beings. Yet our society has done something unprecedented…it has given god-like power to everybody! We’ve taken bona fide miracles & made them mundane, even boring…without enough enthusiasm for the underlying science. David Brin ☀
