They【16】ei______refuse to accept anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary or too complicated or that it somehow makes life less than human. Or they learn to【17】ada______ to the new invention, and eventually wonder how they could possibly have existed without it.【18】T______ computers as an example.

This may be because they seem mysterious, and difficult to【21】und______.
