Re: Harry Potter: Magic vs. Technology
The thing that always bugged me about Harry Potter - and most fantasy books in general - is the emphasis on the "chosen." Not the people who work their asses off. Not the people who have a goal and ambition. Not even the people who just want to get through life and try to find some happiness along the way.
When I was young, I loved the idea of the "chosen" because, like so many others, I liked putting myself in the "chosen" group. To have that special something about you that makes you better and different, whatever that something is.
Technology is the exact opposite of that. I mean, you still have to deal with affordability and classism, but so much of technology is about giving new powers and opportunities to everyone, regardless of background. So as much I as used to love magic, I think I'm always going to be technology from here on out.
