Efficiency. Glorious efficiency. The streamlined and punctual Japanese train system. The meticulous movement of precision components in a Swiss made watch. The time saving zzzchick of Velcro shoes. I don’t know about you, but I am getting goosebumps. Certain cultures, like the Germans and their engineers in particular, are known for prizing the concept of efficiency (The German word for efficiency is “Leistungsfähigkeit,” Beautiful). So much so that the word efficiency could be a synonym for “better”. That process could be more efficient. That process could be better.
