Isn't that the promise? While you get the ‘latest thing’, you also still have the existing things (problems).

@null_hypothesis@mas.to @minego@pdx.social @Remittancegirl@mstdn.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io ... well the Buddhists tell us Possessing Things can become a problem. I grew up in Niger and Nigeria, before Big Oil arrived. The Niger River Delta was full of fish, birds, tall men under cone shaped sun hats poling their slim black boats through the reeds. The Niger Delta has become a Mordor of flare stacks, illuminating the night, greasy mud streaked with petroleum rainbows. And Nigeria itself is preposterously corrupt.
