“Technology is just the redevelopment of old stuff”
I believe most technologies now are just redevelopments of products which already exist, just with a little bit more uses for them. It would be very hard to find a completely new technology which no one has ever seen before, but is also very successful at the same time. There is many people working and designing new technology products right this moment but they will have all needed to get their ideas from somewhere, and this is most likely to be from older products.
Even though the new technologies we have today are totally different from the old technologies, they still have some basic ideas which are carried on. For example old phones were used many years ago, and now we have many different types of smart phones available each with various apps and tools, but both old and new phones still have the same simple use of calling people, which has been improved to a large amount.
