I agree with the essay that a lot of art actually lie between first word art and last word art and the boundary between the two should not be clearly defined. Art are always built upon the ideas of each other, directly or indirectly, while originality still exists, so I tend to not define myself in the spectrum. Similarly, the development of technology should not be classified into first word art or last word art. Therefore,to respond to the idea that technologically novel works don't always age well, I believe that even though the work itself might fall out of trend very soon due to its experimental nature, it still provides valuable experience to the successors to learn from, which actually extends its lifespan into the culture/trend rather than shortens it. Culture is not created by one single pioneer work but anyone who are influenced by the precedents in the field and passes down the influence to others through their own works.
