Closely related to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox Jevons paradox], where increase in the efficiency of coal-fired steam engines led to an increase in the demand and therefore cost for coal, largely offsetting the improved efficiency of the machine. But for the technology paradox the irony is even crueller: at least with a coal-powered engine you get more speed and power, even if you have to pay for it. But with tech even though the machine is more powerful it can’t go faster — it is beaten down to the grinding pace, or worse by that ''almost'' costless [[bloatware]]. | Closely related to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox Jevons paradox], where increase in the efficiency of coal-fired steam engines led to an increase in the demand and therefore cost for coal, largely offsetting the improved efficiency of the machine.
