You are looking from a "groundbreaking" and "refreshing" point of view. Everything is an evolution. Is going from hand textile to mechanical textile a revolution (happened in a period known as "Industrial Revolution")? I still think that's an evolution. The reason Industrial Revolution is coined revolution is the "break the norm" mentality. But the inventions and the transition from hand textile to mechanical textile industry was an evolution itself. We don't call human evolution "human revolution" because we broke the norm of other mammals' biological evolutions.
You are just taking the literal meaning of the words not what they are actually being used for. In this case, evolution means the type of small incremental updates that we have been slowly getting disappointed by for the past few years. Yea literally evolution includes revolution but saying that doesn't add anything to the discussion.
"a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it."
I didn't deny the actual definition of revolution and I recognized it. I am merely expressing my view on the following comments, which are what being discussed here.
First comment:
Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution.
It's always been an evolution.
Your comment:
It wasn't always an evolution.
And for the first few years after that everything was changing so fast it was a revolution.
Breaking norm is a revolution, but the steps are evolution. Everything is evolution.
