I am pretty sure that is what they said when they put breaks in the horseless carriages.

And I remember my dad telling me the same when they put those annoying seat belts in cars.

I can go on with those forever.

It is not about the latest gadgets nor the latest anything. It is about some one saying i have something that can save a life and some one else says "I do not care, it's just new, it's too expensive"

You are not safer because you have the newest anything - you are safer because you are always looking for what ever device, document, conversation.... picture helps you try to be safer.

The attitude that the column above suggests is not healthy is "I already have 2 eyeballs and that everything I need to be safe" - now that I would definetly add to the list
