'Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic' - either Asimov or Clarke, original quote.

Don't forget the corollary:
"Any technology that IS distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."

Or the Florence Ambrose amendum: Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don't understand it.
