Over the years, history has shown that things change. As the old saying goes: "Those who do not learn from history will be doomed to repeat their history course, or something like that."
The Pilgrims learned that popcorn could be made without a microwave oven.
Pioneers learned that you got more wet in an uncovered wagon.
Mountain climbers have learned that you stay warmer in synthetics layers with down insulation compared to tweed sportcoats and knickers.
What I'm getting at here is that into every generation there comes a point when someone comes up with a better idea. They may be laughed at in the beginning ("the world is flat..") then later there comes enlightening ("the world is round and flat"), then later more funny enlightening ("the world is shaped like a basketball"..."what's a basketball"), the later a lightbulb glimmers ("you can bounce this thing and throw it onto the barn"), and the next thing you know revisionist historians are saying that the world is oblong and that Pilgrims didn't use microwave ovens.
Then along comes the iPhone.

I don't use a microwave, and I like popcorn! :-)
and the whole time the pilgrams were trying to pop corn... the indians were pinching at their feet for some reason.
