Charles recently blogged on the topic of wonder and technology:
It’s important to maintain that sense of wonder. The net is a pretty amazing thing, held together by a bunch of people who are probably massively unappreciated in their attention to the plumbing.
This must have been resonating around the back of my brain, because it leapt to mind when Mitchell—my eight year old—reminded me of another sense of wonder, a kind of wonder all boys know at age eight . He said:
I wonder what this custard tastes like with honey-barbeque sauce in it.
And like Charles, I also conclude that it’s important to maintain that sense of wonder.
