31 years ago, the lady who photographed my first wedding was very skeptical of digital photography. A year and a half later, i got a really shitty, crude Kodak digital and showed it to her. You could see her brain kick in when she understood the possibilities, and within two years she was shooting mostly digital.
In 1972, my music teacher scoffed at synthesizers.
Seven years later, I got an F on a math assignment because the teacher was appalled "you used a computer!"

@the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org don't get me wrong, as my own anecdotes I had the first Agfa consumer digital camera and a very early adopter of new technology (I also maintained the first edition of the plasma display FAQ and worked in emerging/experimental hardware at SUSE). I also did early video streaming as an Akimbo partner. So I know there are bumps. But whether it is general lack of technical maturity at this release stage or something else- there is still a fatigue effect. @pheonix@hachyderm.io
