What kind of technology? 8" floppy disks? 8 tracks?
For vehicle technology I think we're at the point of diminishing returns. Transportation is starting to get a little too complicated for the job that it does.
Day to day reliability is better; when you get in your car or tractor in the morning it's highly likely to start right up. But when it does go down it usually is done.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
