About this Quote

This quote by Edward Dahlberg speaks to the negative results of makers on human behavior. He suggests that devices have actually had a harmful effect on virtues such as pity and love, and that boys who are utilized to makers that cause inertia and fear are nearly helpless. This indicates that machines have a numbing result on people, making them less most likely to feel emotions such as pity and love, and less most likely to act. It likewise suggests that machines can develop a sense of fear and apathy in youths, making them less most likely to take dangers or stand up for what they think in. This quote talks to the threats of relying too greatly on makers and technology, and the requirement to be conscious of the prospective repercussions of over-reliance on innovation.
