Clarke's Third Law:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Some years ago I read a counterquote/rejoinder which went something like this:
"Any sufficiently advanced [civilization/society] no longer believes in magic."
I *think* it might have been Paul Preuss, in one of his Venus Prime novels (based on Clarke characters).
