“Who knows?

Perhaps one, perhaps two–perhaps several of the Demon’s devices will be, by that time, in popular use.
Who knows?”
(L. Frank Baum, Introduction, The Master Key. Bowen-Merrill (Indiana): 1901.)
There is a bright flash, and a being who calls himself the Demon of Electricity appears. He tells [young protagonist and electrical experimenter] Rob that he has accidentally “touched the Master Key of Electricity” and is entitled to “to demand from me three gifts each week for three successive weeks.”
Rob experiences adventures exploring the use of the Demon’s gifts, but eventually concludes that neither he nor the world is ready for them. Rob rejects the Demon’s gifts and tells him to bide his time until humankind knows how to use them. The Demon leaves.
With a light heart, Rob concludes that he made the right decision, and that “It’s no fun being a century ahead of the times!”
