What’s a technology that was so good it can’t be improved upon?

[Caca-faat]

What is designed so well you can’t think of anything that can improve it.

I like the idea of lock and keys, the whole barrel lock system and how the keys are cut to push down on the barrel seems genius to me as a layman. Saying that, I don’t understand how master keys work and if it only applies to skeleton keys.



I also like the idea of Japanese furniture joining with no nails. Not that nails and screws don’t improve on it, to me it’s just another way of joining wood but the Japanese way is really cool and still does the job.

I’m sure there are better examples. Add on.

I wanted to say water distribution and irrigation systems...but then there's things like gaskets and valves that have improved those. More likely pulley or counterweight systems?



This is a really, really good question actually

 

[Elim Garak]

No such thing.

Probably a hot take but gaming consoles. The human eye won’t be able to tell the graphical upgrades. The frame rate will get better but as far as resolution I don’t see it performing at a high level passed 8K

No such thing.

Yes in theory; but in practice Is there nothing that you can think of that works perfectly and fulfills its design purpose?

Circuits/ circuit boards
Or gate/ and gate for information processing

Have that ish rotate so the heat distributes more evenly.

Why would your brain consider anything not capable of being better?
WTF!
