Abstract: Abstract The most successful technologies are always designed carefully from the start to “fit” exactly the purpose they are expected to satisfy. Technologies that are not designed to be “fit for purpose” are generally wasteful, inefficient, and ineffective. There is no point in designing a car where the engine will outlast the chassis by 20 years or vice versa. A technology needs to be at the “Goldilocks” level: just right.
