When you put "modern" or "new" into the name of a thing, you're basically announcing to the world that it was designed for the short term, and when it is no longer new it will no longer be relevant.

Modern in the art & design world is actually quite retro.

This is from the same company that brought us Windows NT (New Technology).

Adding "fast" is similarly fun, it's probably true when you came up with it, probably won't be true in the future anymore.

What do you mean? Fast Ethernet is fast, and it'll stay that way forever! It's in the name! 100 Mbit/s!

Or USB:

- USB 2.0: High-Speed USB

- USB 3.0: Super-Speed USB

The marketing names are often deficient, but at least there's a clear version number attached to it. Microsoft doesn't like version numbers at all.

I do find it funny how Full-Speed USB is 12 Mbit/s.

As is ”simple”.

No. Modern like 1950's modern. Unadorned, functional.

1900s: Noveau - plant shapes. 1940s: deco - geometry. Windows XP: gradients, color. Windows Vista: semitransparency.

1950s, Windows 8: 'modern' - strip away unnecessary decoration.
