What's one word between friends?

So it appears the department I work for will be changed from "New Media and Technology" to "Future Media and Technology".

One word - so big a difference. Well according to the Oxford English Dictionary...

New: Not previously existing; now made or brought into existence for the first time.; Of a kind now first invented or introduced; novel, newfangled; original.
Future: that is to be, or will be, hereafter.

So there you go...

Of course I didn't like to point out that the stuff I work on has been in existence for several years and is certainly not "to be" but more "been".
