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.
