Taking its starting point as the already likeable C4, Citroën polled its customers and found they wanted "more useful technology, reduced costs and more design".
Thus, the intervention for lowering serum cholesterol appears to have a trivial effect compared to cardiac transplantation, and one may be inclined to believe cardiac transplantation to be the more useful technology.
Even so, the Internet has made MT technology more useful; and MT technology has done the same for the Internet.
It's the nature of progress that these technologies, once useful and transformative, are supplanted by even more useful and transformative technology.
Our approach may become even more useful as improved technology allows greater sequencing depths and therefore higher quantitative precision, and perhaps also as new molecular protocols increase the signal-to-noise ratio of protein-associated DNA capture [ 67].
BFAST will be able to more effectively align these poorer quality reads and render new technologies more useful.
Thus, optimists perceive technologies as being more useful and easy to use in that they are less irritated about the negative outcomes of technology.
It has been argued that technology is more useful when it is used as part of a broader educational improvement agenda (Pitler [2006]).
Implementation of more stringent handling guidelines with respect to speed of processing, judicious use of centrifugation, use of a buffer to promote cell viability, and the use of more robust fluorescent tags may make this technology more useful than the earlier studies suggest [ 6, 7].
So much of what we value in technology is its promise to upgrade the hardware of our lives, to make us more useful to ourselves — more productive, more profitable, more effective.
