Quote by Albert Einstein

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a path

Summary

This quote suggests that technological progress, while inherently empowering, can also be used destructively by those with malevolent intentions. It draws a parallel between an axe, a tool that can be used for constructive purposes like chopping wood, and a pathological criminal who employs it for harmful acts. Just as an axe in the hands of such a criminal can cause devastation, technology too can be misused and have detrimental effects on society and individuals. It serves as a reminder of the responsibility we have in managing and guiding technological advancements for the betterment of humanity.
