What are technological constraints?

Technological constraints are like invisible ropes that stop things from being as amazing or fast as they could be.

Imagine you're trying to build the tallest tower out of blocks, but you only have 10 blocks. No matter how clever you are, your tower can't be taller than 10 blocks. That's a technological constraint, it’s like having only 10 blocks when you want to go higher.

Think of a bike that has only one gear. When you go uphill, it feels super hard because the bike doesn’t help you pedal easier. But when you go downhill, it’s too fast, you can't control it well. That’s a technological constraint in action: the bike is limited by its one gear.

These invisible ropes show up everywhere, like why your phone takes time to load pictures or why some cars are slower than others. It's not that they're broken; it's just that they have limits, and those limits are technological constraints.
