Summary

This quote criticizes the irony of our constant desire for togetherness while simultaneously advancing inventions that gradually erode family bonds. It suggests that our obsession with technology disconnects us from meaningful human connections, turning us into indiscriminate beings engrossed in artificial and vivid virtual experiences. The quote implies that these inventions, represented by "technicolor prairies and rivers," diminish our ability to truly connect with each other and establish genuine relationships.
