👉 Dead engineering refers to the remnants of past technological advancements that have become obsolete or outdated due to newer innovations. These are often physical artifacts, such as old machinery, decommissioned infrastructure, or obsolete software systems, which no longer serve their original purpose and are left to stand as historical relics. They represent the evolution of technology and can serve as educational tools, preserving a record of past engineering feats and the challenges overcome. However, they also pose maintenance and safety concerns, as they may no longer be compatible with modern systems or could present hazards if not properly managed.
