“We are morphing so fast that our ability to invent new things outpaces the rate we can civilize them.”
— Kevin Kelly
Simplified Meaning:
Every day, we are coming up with new inventions and technology very quickly. However, we don't always know the best ways to use them or understand all the effects they might have. For example, when smartphones first came out, everyone was excited about how they made life easier. But we didn’t think much about how they might affect things like personal privacy or how much time people spend on them every day. This same thing happens with many new inventions—we’re great at creating new tools and gadgets, but we catch up slowly in teaching everyone how to use them responsibly and safely. So, while new technology can be amazing, it's important to take time to learn how it fits into our lives and society. Understanding this can help us use new things more wisely and avoid problems.
