How permanent is software? Does everything eventually get thrown away or does it evolve into new things? Will there ever be a big leap that leaves the old work behind?

I think software will never be permanent. Business requirements always change or just aren't needed anymore.

I think good software will evolve for longer times than bad software, but at one point or another a new technology will come that just has too many benefits to not use.
