Summary

This quote highlights a paradoxical aspect of invention and innovation. It suggests that sometimes, the very inventions meant to spur progress can hinder it. When we become obsessed with the novelty and possibilities of a new technology, we may lose sight of its original purpose or ultimate potential impact. Instead of focusing on solving the important problems that these inventions were meant to address, we become enamored by the technology itself, preventing true innovation from taking place. Thus, this quote reminds us to not lose sight of the bigger picture and the intended objectives behind the creation of inventions.

Credit or debit cards, for starters, are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money, we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it.
