One of the sad facts of life is that time takes its toll on anything and everything. This does not just apply to living things, either. Inanimate objects experience these changes and alterations, too. Sometimes things change quickly and other times things change so slowly and in such minor ways that no one even realizes it until the thing is too far gone. The changes that occur are always there, but they are not recognized until the object is compared to a newer version of it, or if it is seen from afar.
