Elevator Technologies of tomorrow

We don't really care about something as trivial as “how good the elevator functioned”. Call it our habit of shutting out certain matters we deem as insignificant or simply being ignorant- ironically, there's an entire industry that cares a lot about how smoothly you get from the ground floor to your apartment or to that kickass hotel suite.
