About this Quote

This quote by Alvar Aalto talks with the increasing field of expertise of our contemporary world. As innovation advancements and also our data base broadens, we have the ability to concentrate a growing number of on certain locations of expertise. This has caused a world where some individuals recognize increasingly more about a specific subject, while others understand much less and also less. This field of expertise has allowed us to make excellent strides in lots of locations, but it has also developed a divide in between those that are very knowledgeable in a particular area and also those that are not. This divide can lead to an absence of understanding in between those that are highly specialized as well as those that are not, along with a lack of admiration for the understanding as well as skills of those that are not as specialized. Eventually, this quote acts as a suggestion that we should strive to link the space in between those that recognize even more as well as those that understand less, in order to develop a much more unified as well as understanding society.
