Modern?

I was listening to a podcast where they were using modern as a positive. As in: the horse and buggy can get you places, but you can go so much faster in modern cars.

I also tend towards using it as a positive: “modern technology” “modern processes” “modern living” “modern project management” — these all carry very positive connotations in my mind. But a modern thing isn’t always perceived as a good thing to all people – you’ve heard their rallying cry “Tried and True”.

Do you see “modern” as being a bad thing? Why?

Introspective bonus points: what would cause you to change your opinion to favor modern things?
