The Lindy Effect is a theory that suggests the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age. In other words, the older something is, the longer it's likely to remain in existence. This term is most commonly used in the world of Finance or in strategic forecasting. The Lindy Effect is named after Lindy's deli in New York City where comedians were said to gather and where, supposedly, the length of a comic's career could be predicted based on their current success.
