It is all iterative and relative to the current time: hardware, software, network speeds, access, mobile etc.
Just like the sexy new iPhone 6 looks like the thing, in a few years it will look old and dated. Everything looks good in its time.
The same goes for software, however simple fundamentals do remain and grow stronger. Hopefully over time iteration does simplify, but as a whole, it can look complex to meet the needs of the current market. Everything we do now won't be used in the future, it does expire, but it is useful as a step or else there is no future version without this version.
