Some of the most elegant inventions have succeeded not because they added a high tech feature that required complex engineering that was visible to the eye. Instead they succeeded by making things simpler and though there may have been complex engineering that was involved as far as the end user was concerned it was just a neater simpler looking device.
Take for example the development of devices needed to measure and record the weight. Since mankind has a had a need to weigh items for thousands of years therefore the technology for making weight measurements has been developed a long long time ago and has constantly evolved over the years. The act of weighing has been so deep rooted in human society, that now a traditional pan type mechanical weighing scale is a sign of equality and fairness.

As can therefore be expected, the technology for making weight measurements has received a lot of attention and innovations have taken place at regular intervals. One of the most innovative weight measurement device is a wireless scale. In an electronic weighing device earlier there would be a wire to carry power to the device and another wire to carry the reading to a display. Wireless scales have actually got less components since they do not need to have these wires. But they give much more than an ordinary digital scale in terms of the ease of recording the weight under various situations.
The weight recording operation can be done remotely, well away from the place where the object is placed on the weighing scale. The reading is transmitted without the use of wires and can even automatically be accepted by a computerized database. This separation of the tasks of placing the object on the scale and recording the weight frees the operations area from the need to record the weight and weight can now be recorded at a centralized place. The operation therefore becomes faster and more efficient. The scale itself can move easily to various parts of the operations area since it is wireless and is not attached to a particular place.
