Newness contradicts creativity, because the creative process needs to result in objects that last. In fact, because new designs create a future need for more new designs, it cannot last by definition!
Think of shops that sell novelty items. Newness at an object level looks like novelty items. What is the quality of novelty items? How long do novelty items last?
- azinman2 6y agoI don't understand your point. We're not talking about physical things, we're talking about software. Software is always changing, morphing, adopting, and growing user bases. It's what's amazing about it compared to hardware. My 2012 MBP runs the latest OS from approximately 8 years later, and with it a whole new slew of features and additions that both Apple and the rest of the world have brought it. Why be stuck in the past?

- Koshkin 6y agoThere's truth to that - we do not feel the need to 'upgrade' Mozart's or Titian's works, they feel just as interesting as they did when they were created (if not even more; and I am not talking about a "purely historical interest").
