ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Technological resurrection

Imagine you have a toy that is broken and cannot be fixed by anyone. However, you really love that toy and want to see it working again. So, you take a picture of the toy and save it in your computer.

One day, you come across a tool that can create a new version of your toy based on that picture. You use this tool and it creates a brand new toy exactly like the old one you loved but this one works perfectly.

Now imagine, you are a scientist or an engineer who works with machines or robots. Sometimes, these machines or robots break down and cannot be fixed. This is where technological resurrection comes in.

Instead of throwing away the broken machines or robots, the scientists take pictures of them and save it in their computers. They use advanced technology to create a new version of the machine or robot based on those pictures. This way, they can bring back to life those machines or robots that were once broken and could not be fixed.

Technological resurrection is like giving a new life to something that was considered dead or useless. It helps us to not only save valuable resources but also come up with new ideas and enhance the technology of our world.
