5.2 Real Things Depreciate While Being Used - Cultural Phenomena Appreciate

Let us take tools for example. They gradually lose their physical abilities, while being used and thus lose their value. On the contrary, cultural phenomena derive their value directly from being "used," which means being demonstraded, performed, copied, generally speaking shared and become known. Cultural phenomena gain value with each single usage.
It is interesting that ideas corresponding to a tool appreciate in many ways while the tool itself depreciates from use. Specifically interesting case is when a new tool is invented narrowing usage of the old one in principle. This means that the same "old" idea makes a considerable leap in its development.
