During the Expo Zaragoza, brought to test various electric cars and walked around the city. I had the chance to see one of them closely and saw that it made no sound at all. That is fine for noise pollution and all that, just ..., if you can not hear atropellarte. Lately I've heard that the new models are thinking purposely introduce noise, so that will not happen.
It's funny sometimes that something is too perfect in itself a problem.
Something similar happened with the first digital mobile phone. The sound quality was so good, that there was the slightest background noise. This, you might say, is great, what is the problem? The problem is that users, accustomed to regular phone, if the caller kept talking about thought communication was cut and hung. So the solution was to include, incidentally, an imperfection, a slight background noise, which they called "comfort noise ." In this way at all times had a reference that was audible communication.
I think this is applicable to many aspects of life, we do not want things to be too perfect. Women voted the most beautiful show some asymmetry, we do not know why, but fascinating. The perfect barbie is not usually the most desirable woman.
not want our partner to be perfect from day to day, if not, how could we defend ourselves when we blame our shortcomings? Small flaws in character, in its logic, seem surprisingly attractive and often cause us some tenderness.
Public figures also earn when they show a weakness. There is talk that that makes them more human.
Perhaps that question. Of humanity. People are not designed to be perfect, certainly not easily accept that something is, there is always need that background noise, we comfort of our imperfections.
