Magic

Arthur C Clarke wrote science fiction stories. He once said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Today, we all know how computers, electricity, televisions and so on aren’t magic, but if you went back  two hundred years in time and showed someone a lightbulb, or a mobile phone, they’d think you were a witch!

Technology is always getting better. Computers are too, with new ones faster, smaller, less power hungry and cleverer than ever.

Could it be magic… or could it be progress?
