Long shot here. The article’s thesis was that when something new appears, some people (termed, I think, the never-were’s) claim that this is completely new and different from anything to come before. Others (ever-were’s ?) claim that there’s nothing new under the sun and that this is just an updated version of something from an earlier time. There was a third strand that I don’t remember. I may not have the names even right. Does ANYone happen to remember reading this notion? Where was it? What was it (in greater specificity and detail than I can provide)? Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler?
