Or perhaps pilots talking about how "real flying" doesn't require jet propulsion to keep them aloft.

It kind of comes back to that old cliche, "That isn't music!" Older generations will always have trouble adapting while younger generations grow up with whatever is pushing the future, be it travel technology, medical technology, music, mathematics, whatever the case may be. The good news is none of us is living forever. Live a good life and have some fun. Slow down, look around at what you already have done and can do. Don't let negative thoughts turn you sour, we only get this one life don't waste it being angry. Especially don't waste it being angry at something you can't control... none of us is going to stop time and progress.

Oh boy - Im having plenty of fun and will have even more as I acquire gas powered toy/weekend cars. Im not angry - just frustrated that they are trying to ram some things down our throats that not only arent anywhere near being ready but also arent as popular as they seem to think. "They" being the do gooder politicians who of course will be able to weasel out of most of this stuff anyways. This isnt about slowing down technology or any of the horse-buggy stuff. Its about freedom of choice and having options.
