“Narrow-Casting”

While there is much truth in the old saying “There is nothing new under the sun,” it often happens that an idea or a device is tried and discarded or remains dormant for a number of years. After a time conditions change, new needs arise, difficulties and limitations disappear in the progress of events. Then the old idea is brought forth again in new clothes to be acclaimed by those to whom it appears new and strange, and to be belittled by some who have read that so-and-so did about the same thing years before.
