Recieved Ideas

In the spirit of Flaubert's Dictionary of Received Ideas. I once began to collect received ideas about digital media or new media. I remember one or two.

When someone talks about cutting edge technology and laments the passing of pencil and paper:
Say, "Pencil and paper is cutting edge technology."

When someone says, isn't it difficult to find good people:
Say, "Good people are always hard to find."
