"Somos mentes digitales en un mundo analógico."
— Richard Dawkins
Simplified Meaning:
Our thinking and problem-solving ways are advanced, like computers, but the world we live in is old-fashioned and physical. Imagine trying to use a modern smartphone in a place with no internet or electricity. Your phone is full of potential, but it can't do much there. This is how our minds work; we think quickly and handle complex information, yet often face basic, real-world issues that slow us down. For instance, consider a business that comes up with a great online shopping system. If they set it up in a town where people prefer to shop in person and don't use the internet much, it won't be very successful. To make the most of our advanced thinking, we need to find ways to bridge the gap between our digital ideas and the real-world environment. This could mean finding new tools or changing how we interact with our surroundings, so we can better align our thinking with the world we live in.
