This is funny but it is of course wrong,
I like facebook a lot, but I dislike text messages,
and so on. Which general types of things one likes
may develop early, but the details are not
set in stone. This kind of thing is
an excuse for all kinds of bad stuff
that is supposed to be progress but is
really just bad--but not all of it is bad!

Ditto.
In my case, the reason was elegantly
explained by Douglas Adams:
I've [Douglas Adams has] come up with a set
of rules that describe our reactions to
technology:
1. Anything that is in the world when you're
born is normal and ordinary and is just a
natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when
you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is
against the natural order of things.
