👉 Fallen engineering refers to the deterioration or failure of previously functional infrastructure, systems, or technologies due to various factors such as wear and tear, inadequate maintenance, environmental degradation, or technological obsolescence. This can manifest in numerous ways, such as bridges collapsing under stress, dams failing due to structural weaknesses, or communication networks breaking down from outdated technology. The consequences of fallen engineering can range from economic losses and safety hazards to environmental damage and societal disruption, highlighting the critical importance of regular maintenance, upgrades, and proactive management to prevent such failures.
