Progress?????????

 The definition of progress does not proclaim it as a panacea. Just moving forward, blindly could be called progress by some. As could the old Three Stooges line, "step by step...".

So you have a smart phone, it slices, dices and diapers the baby, but as a phone??????????? What do you mean the speaker is on the back? Oh, now there are two speakers, one to talk into and one to allow noise into the system just so it can be eliminated...yep, sounds like progress!

So we've all been to school, studied hard and graduated, then why do we continue to make the same mistakes? I thought that was the reason to take history. To learn from your predecessors, guess not. Make more and better weaponry appears to be what was learned. Not to mention a better distribution system...totally untraceable, naturally. Deni ability a must! No accountability at any cost!

New is a short term concept that is accepted as the end all, be all. New is a transient, fleeting thing. There are only a few moments of "new" before the ageing process makes "new"out of date. Old, on the other hand has a much broader base, millions of years of it in fact. Given these pretty
obvious facts, just why do we always pick the "new" gimmick, idea, concept? As above in the definition of progress, new isn't there either.

Many of the new ideas seem to come from marketing programs. Lets rephrase that, "how do we "fleece" the most from the most and make them love it? My thought here, I do not have a baby so my phone doesn't need to diaper one. My old phone works fine , it ain't broke so I 'm not fixing it.

Old concepts can work. Women have been beautiful since time began, Madison Ave might take credit, but any idiot can see the lie in that one. Evolution and a "little black dress" who needs Madison Ave?
