The word I learned the other day is DEMOCRATIZATION. It is the process that something new is
introduced. First only the elite can
afford the new item, such as when cars were invented. Then Henry Ford came along and invented the
assembly line... then cars were massed produced and everybody almost everybody
can afford one. Many items crept into
our lives like that and suddenly it became a way of life and changed our life
style... some examples: Telephone,
electricity, lights, car, record player, radio, tape players, CD players, smart phones, videos recording devices,
computers, Cable TV, VCR, DVR, TiVo, and there are much more to come that we
have not even thought up yet.
But wait! The above
were examples of the word
DEMOCRIZATION. What is the word when
these gadgets are replaced and phased out?
Such as the record player and VCR?
UNDEMOCRATIZATION?
DE-DEMOCRATIZATION?
DEMOCRATIZATIONLESS?
