An advance means a movement forward.
The concept of advancement refers to the act and result of moving forward : moving forward; anticipate, increase or improve something. In some countries , progress is also used as a synonym for progress (budget or accounting balance).
For example: "The progress of the vehicles is delayed by an accident that occurred at the entrance to the bridge" , "The inauguration of this water purification plant is a great advance for the region" , "The authorities are very concerned about the advance of drug trafficking .
Characteristics of a breakthrough
An advance can be the movement that is made forward . If a man who was standing at the beginning of a path begins to walk, he will begin to move forward (that is, to make progress in his path).
It is important to keep in mind that the direction in which a body advances is always relative to certain factors, such as the orientation of its front side. In the case of human beings, we understand that progress occurs when our body is directed towards a point from which our knees, our abdomen and our face can be seen, for example, three elements that are found on the front side of our structure.
In the case of a living being or an object unknown to us, it is not easy to determine its different sides and for this reason it may happen that we do not know how to precisely define its movements . Of course, it is not always necessary to provide this information, but sometimes it is enough to indicate the direction in which a body is moving, as well as the speed and acceleration, among other issues.
In cinema, a trailer is the fragment of a film that is released before its release for advertising or promotional purposes.
The notion of growth or improvement
Growth , whether symbolic or physical, could also be mentioned as progress: "If it continues to rain, we will not be in a position to stop the advance of the river" , "The country's economy improved thanks to the advance of international trade" , "Mr. President, how do you plan to combat the advance of insecurity? .
The idea of advancement, on the other hand, appears linked to an improvement or optimization , often achieved thanks to technological development: "I am surprised by the advance of nanotechnology," "Automation is an advance in our production process."
Technology has gone from being something that interested a few connoisseurs to becoming part of the daily lives of the majority of people. This doesn't mean that everyone understands the different processes and principles behind their favorite products; On the contrary, the market needs them not to focus on what is behind the scenes, and for that it confuses them with fictitious technical terms created with a commercial approach.
Technological advances are one of the demands that consumers impose on companies year after year as a condition for purchasing their new products. Since it is not always possible to make considerable leaps with respect to previous technology, this absurd level of demand results in manufacturers deceiving the public through tactics such as the aforementioned creation of catchy terms that give the impression of being in the presence of a revolution. .
The concept of advancement in cinema
In the field of cinematography , we usually speak of a trailer to name the fragment of a film that is broadcast, as a promotional or advertising basis, before the premiere: "Last night I saw the trailers for the new Rocky Balboa movie," "In the preview you can now see the superhero's new suit .
Movie trailers do not always reflect the true content that audiences will find in movie theaters, and this can go either way: both for the better and for the worse. As if this were not enough, it is very common for them to show scenes in which unknowns or mysteries in the story are resolved, which ruin the experience of those who have not yet seen the film.
