In Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, the story is retold with Harry having a loving Biochemistry Professor as a stepfather rather than the begrudged Vernon Dursley. This has the strange consequence of Harry learning rationality theory at a very young age, becoming somewhat of an intellectual prodigy. By the time he is thrust into the world of magic, he realizes the untapped potential of magic almost immediately. Untapped in the sense that many wizards and witches before him had never considered the wonders that magic may enable. The internet is our current version of magic. We have grown up as it has grown up. We have to deal with it as an intrusion rather than another tool for learning like a book. Less than fifty years from now, the internet will be refined and beautiful in ways we have had no reason yet to imagine. Fresh minds will approach it as Harry approaches magic. With nothing to lose, but so much to gain.
