A Laptop and the Engineer Story

Once upon a time in future, the whole world is filled with lot of Engineers. Since there are so many of them and not sufficient jobs, most of them had to start their own servicing consultancies. One of the Engineer in the countryside is working with his Laptop in a calm place next to the river under the Tree shade. Accidentally the Laptop fell into the river.

Our Engineer remembered the story of "the Axe and the Wood Cutter". I hope most of you readers know that story. If not not a problem, you will get to know. In that story, the woodcutter's Axe falls into the river and he prays for GOD to help me. Similarly, our Engineer also prays for GOD. The God appears and asks Son, What can i bless you with?
He replies, God I am so glad that you have shown up for my prayer, i am an engineer and you know the situation of engineers these days, i am making my living by working on my laptop and accidentally it has fallen into the river. Please help me get it back to me or else my survival itself will become very difficult.
God says, Don't worry my son, i will get it back to you from the river. God goes into the river and comes back with a small rectangular gadget. Looking at that the Engineer screams God, that is a Calculator. You are not at all aware of the latest Technology. Laptop will be even bigger.
God goes back into the river once again and get back with little bigger gadget. This time Engineer gets even more frustrated and shouts God, that is some kind of Abacus slate. You are totally ignorant of what is happening on the earth. And he shows the picture of the Laptop and tells this is how it looks. please get this one.
God goes back into the river and get back with his Laptop. Engineer says, Finally you got my Laptop. Thank you. God says Ok, then take care of your livelihood, I will leave.
Engineer thinks for a moment about the story and questions the God, When you came to wood cutter you showed him Silver Axe, Golden Axe and Finally the Iron Axe and gifts all 3 to him. But for me you did the cheating.
God replies, my dear Engineer What you thought as a Calculator is the high end multidimensional System which will be seen in the world after 20 Years. and the one you thought as Abacus is high dense decahexa processor system which is 5 generations after the current generation System. But "you are blinded with what you have always seen and assumed there cannot be any new hopes". So you failed to get all the gifts and Disappears.

Moral: "Never be blinded for new things by what you have seen in your Life and assume there is no other way out of it"
