All of the biggest technological inventions created by man -

Summary

This quote suggests that the advancement of major technological inventions like the airplane, automobile, and computer does not necessarily reflect human intelligence, but instead highlights human laziness. It implies that these inventions were primarily motivated by the desire to make life easier and more convenient, rather than being driven by sheer intellectual capacity or innovation. In other words, technological progress may be more a result of human laziness, seeking ways to do things effortlessly, rather than a manifestation of intellectual brilliance.
