Frank Zappa said:
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

And Jony Ive said this when he was asked why the first iMac didn't have a floppy drive:
When you move on, you leave some things behind. The floppy drive, which I will argue until I'm blue in the face, is really antiquated technology. I've heard the complaints, but if there's not some sort of friction in a move forward, your step is not as consequential as you'd like to believe it is

But deviation doesn't necessarily mean progress.
"The thing is, it's very easy to be different, but very difficult to be better" – Jony Ive

You  have to be careful not to confuse being different with progress, but if you always keep the status quo, you'll never be able to progress. So here's to continual progress.
