Can Technology Go Backwards?

Debate Information

Is there a tendency for technology to take a step backwards before it improves and moves forward?
For example, the early flat screen TVs were plasma and had great color saturation then came along LCD technology which, yes is better technology in terms of brightness weight and power consumption. However, the image "quality" was not as good.

We have experienced great leaps and bounds as to how we listen to sound over the past fifty years. Cassette tapes revolutionised the way we listened to music and, at last, recorded and live sound became truly portable. We now listen to MP3 format through our iPhones; it is so convenient, we can stream whatever we want when we want. However, MP3 is not as good a sound quality as a mini CD, reel to reel or even vinyl, which has seen a resurgence for that very reason. MP3 is a compressed format in which some of the sound data is "clipped-off" in order for devices to adequately process the sound. 

So, are we really being fooled by manufacturers who promise that their new products will take us "to the next level"?
