There is nothing automatically better about something new, or for that matter something that is old.

Progress is about new things and generally it”s good.

If you are looking for a spectacular fossil, the latest model with added features hardly qualifies!

Things need to be measured on their own qualities using a specifically relevant scale.

Perhaps it will be good to use a new measure for an old process.

Perhaps an old process, adapted, re-interpreted could solve a new problem.
