I remember being obsessed with Hyper transport technology. What always bothered me was this idea that theoretically we can unite all the best solutions from competitors in order to make one "ultimate" product. At the same time losing competition (or at least a threat of it) was the major reason why one company developed its "killer feature" to stay afloat in the market or to outcompete its rivals. On the other hand there is no such thing as the ultimate product with all the cutting edge technology in the real world since every product is just a mean for fulfilling certain need or completing certain task. For each need or task the best solution might not require the best of the best or "ultimate" tech in every regard.

@scottfranco1962 My dilemma stems from the assumtion that technological advancement comes either from competition or from some extreme external limitation. It seems logical to me that in the future we will compete directly in technology (of every processes) rather than the products. I might be simply wrong but isn't it the limitations from weak points of your product make you develop new technologies to overcompensate your weaknesses.

@scottfranco1962 Great story! For some reason I imagined something like water valve from washing machines as a "bang bang" valve. To me fridge compressors work more like one piston combustion engine, but they don´t make distinct souds due to their continuous work. Maybe with a larger piston which stops at every cycle they will produce a "bang-bang" sound. It actually reminded me "from zero to one" by Peter Thiel and your story is actually my main concern about that book. When you outcompete your market you will find it a lot harder to disrupt your own business with new technology. It's just like it was in the soviet union, the only tech that was improving was military and only because of competition with the west.
