'''Sousa:''' Sufficiently advanced technology. ''*{{beat}}*'' Oh, it's uh, it's something a guy I met over in London said once. That if the rate of technological advance stays the same, by the 21st century it would seem like magic to us.

->It's always been the same, you know, all through the ages. Recipes for beauty, for attracting the man you love. And witchcraft and charms and marvellous happenings. Nowadays they're mostly lumped together under the heading of Science. Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.
