# Technological Minimalism
Technological minimalism is a philosophy of designing technology to be as simple as possible while still achieving given goal.
Up until recently in history every engineer would tell you that *the better machine is that with fewer moving parts*. This still seems to hold in mathematics, an area inhabited by the smartest people, where there is a tendency to look for the most minimal equations. Science also knows this rule as the Occam's razor.
