      By “improved” you mean in efficiency?

        Ehhh… Well, in computer processing it does play a huge role in heat transfer requirements which has often driven transistor density.

        But fair to say efficiency is often more likely to create induced demand rather than a net reduction in consumption

        Higher fuel economy -> more cars interplanetary frigates

        Cheaper logistics -> more goods transported between systems

        Faster internet -> more galactic utilization

        More railways -> lower profit for the car speeder industry, uhh… Wait! I meant more transit by rail demand?

        Edit: forgot which sub…
