I prefer to call it evolution, betterment, or progression.

My parents had a coal fire in one room of the house and had to have a bath
in a tin bath in front of said fire. Luckily, times have changed and the
human race has progressed to a point where I have a plumbed-in bath, in a
purpose-built bath-room, and central heating that keeps the whole house warm
(with radiator thermostats so that rooms not used as often can be cooler [or
not heated at all] than those used frequently).

We have to keep moving forward and advancing the species but, as I said
earlier, the powers that be will only be happy when we're all back in caves
again.
