About this Quote

This quote by Herbert Simon talks to the power of technology and its capability to form our lives. He recommends that technology can produce a condition, but it depends on us to choose how to respond to it. He encourages us to make the effort to understand ourselves and to discover methods to value and like ourselves. This is an essential reminder that innovation can be a powerful tool, but it is eventually as much as us to decide how to use it and how to live our lives.
