Episode notes

There are still quite a few people who i think now fit into that category of protecting what used to be. Hey, we used to do it this way and it was so much better. Remember the good times. The old verses young. Is one good way to think about that quote. But i think it's true of all these things, which is, work is changing. The way that we view people from different backgrounds is changing. Society is constantly moving. All this tension that is created, that, you know, manifests in twitter arguments ad anddeep conversations with your friends or whatever, it all leads us in a slow little direction, which could be called progress or innovation. And at

What do airplanes, railroads, and jazz music have in common? They were all innovations that people feared.

In fact, if you look into any key technology shift from the past, you'll find a wealth of fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding it. And while this shouldn't be surprising, we can still learn from the skeptics of the past.

We can learn just how difficult it is to predict what's to come and look toward our future with a humble perspective, an acceptance that we probably will get it wrong again.

In this episode, Calvin and Steph talk through how people viewed inventions seemingly as innocuous as the bicycle or teddy bear, what we can learn from these stories, and how to stay open minded and capitalize on opportunities as technology takes us into the future.
