From the March, 1931 issue of Modern Mechanix magazine:

> The time is coming fast when the only living thing around a motion picture house will be the person who sells you your ticket. Everything else will be mechanical. Canned drama, canned music, canned vaudeville. We think the public will tire of mechanical music and will want the real thing. We are not against scientific development of any kind, but it must not come at the expense of art. We are not opposing industrial progress. We are not even opposing mechanical music except where it is used as a profiteering instrument for artistic debasement.

People used to say that about electricity too, and cars, and planes, and computers. This is just the next step in the chain.

1. Try to stop the world from changing.

2. Adapt to the changes (which requires changing the world). E.g., the dangers of electricity led to electrical codes and licensing for electricians.
