The technological revolution seems to have no higher purpose than to render humanity obsolete.

About This Quote

The technological revolution has brought us to a point where it is difficult to feel that there is any greater goal than to render humanity obsolete. Humans have conquered the Earth, but they have also rendered themselves obsolete by doing so. So many of today’s innovations are designed to facilitate our ability to do less work, but that doesn’t make them any less of a distraction. When we are too busy with these technologies, we forget how to interact with each other in person. We forget the value of real conversation and genuine interaction.
