I'm young, I still find newness exciting. Fortunately I also find history exciting, and one big lesson that has taught me is that it is foolishness to equate "newer" with "better". Often it is, often it seems to be, and often it isn't. The trick is knowing which is which.

Things wave back and forth, in spirals. Knowing history avoids looping too much. I didn't understand that about it as a kid (it holds in tech but in society, politics, musics etc too). Good for you you're already sensible to that.
