Agreed. A very strong reason to be wary of new technology is that usually new technology is terrible for the first few generations. It only gets good once it's been around for a while. If you had to re-fuel your refrigerator with kerosene every few hours and there was a non-negligible risk that it would explode, you wouldn't be so eager to have one. When it's a simple matter of plugging it into the wall and paying a few cents a day for electricity, it's a no-brainer.
