Douglas Adams' comments on Apple Pay and Apple Watch.
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end
of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small
unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million
miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose
ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that
they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was
this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty
much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this
problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the
movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd
because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of
paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean,
and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital
watches.
