Technophobia Memes

History really does repeat itself! In 1889, people were losing their minds over electricity being the "unrestrained demon" that would electrocute us all in our sleep. Fast forward to today, and it's the same hysteria with nuclear power—just swap the skull-headed lightbulb for a glowing green barrel. The Victorian panic depicted here is hilariously dramatic—people running for their lives from... *checks notes*... convenient indoor lighting. Meanwhile, we're sitting here reading this on devices powered by the very "demon" they feared would destroy civilization. Turns out fear of new technology is the most renewable resource we've ever discovered. Give it another century and our great-grandkids will be laughing at us freaking out about whatever terrifying innovation they take completely for granted.
