Episode notes

iud: There's nothing new about technology being feared. I think fears and hopes, so optimism, they're both memetic. If you are early to something that you are genuinely interested in, that's where people get the most outside gains as it relates to their financial condition or their happiness in life. iud: Don't be upset that exists that other people just don't see things differently. You may come out a more balanced thinker who can find ways to make these changes work for you.

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.
