¿Está lo nuevo asociado siempre al progreso?

Abstract

Newness is usually bound to the hope of a better alternative. Though being uncertain because it is still unknown, there is an enigmatic attraction for newness. History is very much based on a continuous sequence of new tendencies and ideas. These, as time goes by, are systematically superseded by a different new alternative. In a sense, this is the history of the progress.

The question is to know to what an extent is always like that.
