The Lindy Effect and the Survival Advantage of Old Technology

Old technology tends to have a survival advantage over new technology, suggesting that what will be displaced in the future is not the old technology but the new. To ensure that something remains relevant in the future, such as a written piece, it should be created with the mindset of making it understandable and engaging to someone from 20 years ago. This practice enables a piece of work to have a timeless quality that can resonate with individuals across different time periods, ensuring its continued relevance and interest.
