Simplified Meaning:

People are great at coming up with new gadgets and technology, but not always so good at using them in thoughtful and careful ways. Think about smartphones: they were created to help us stay connected and make life easier. However, many people spend too much time on them, leading to distractions and even accidents. History shows this pattern too—consider nuclear energy; it has the potential for clean power, but it also led to powerful weapons. This quote reminds us to think more about how we use the tools we invent. By doing so, we can avoid some of the negative consequences and benefit more from the positives. This means being aware of both the good and bad possibilities of any new tool or technology and making choices that lead to positive outcomes.
