"Les progrès technologiques nous ont simplement fourni des moyens plus efficaces pour reculer."
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, new technology can make things easier or faster but not necessarily better. Imagine having a fancy, powerful car that can drive very fast. If you use it to drive towards a cliff, you’ll just get to the danger more quickly. Technology like smartphones and social media were designed to connect people, but often, they make people more isolated because everyone is glued to their screens instead of talking face-to-face. This quote suggests that just because technology is advanced, doesn’t mean it always helps us move forward in a positive way. To avoid this, people should think carefully about how they use technology and make sure it's helping them reach good goals, not just getting to bad places faster.
