Familiarity and Survival: The Lindy Effect
The Lindy Effect teaches us that what has been around, will continue to be around. It is like saying, "What has been, will be." The longer something lives, the longer we can expect it to continue to live.
For example, if a book has been in print for forty years, we can bet it will be in print for another forty years.
The longer it survives, the longer it is expected to continue surviving. So, if it's still around after a decade, it will probably be around for another fifty years to come.
