WHEN 400.000 MEN  COULDN’T GET HOME

HOME CAME FOR THEM

We often look back at the early adopters of now-ubiquitous technologies and think: wow, we sure were silly to be so skeptical of something we now couldn’t live without.

It’s tempting to look around at today’s emerging technologies and wonder: what soon-to-be-indispensable conveniences will we ourselves be mocked for dismissing as impractical fads?

Rather than looking to the future, however, I often find myself peering further into the past, applying the question to technologies that are so omnipresent it doesn’t usually occur to us that there must have been early adopters at all.

Like, what must it have been like to be one of the first people to wear hats?  What did the early-adopter glitches for the concept of putting things on your head look like?
