Seems to be a foreign concept, this notion of... improvement... progress... I mean... the Wright Brothers invented the airplane, not the Stealth Bomber. The powered hang glider that the two bicycle mechanics flew at Kitty Hawk bears as much resemblance to a 747 airliner as a self driving car of today will have to one 50 years from now. I get that the pace of progress is more subject to market forces in the 21st Century than in the 20th but there is still, overall, an upward pressure on the innovations of humanity to evolve. Become better, more efficient. No amount of naysaying will alter that.
