If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery, in impoverishment.

Summary

This quote suggests that technological progress alone is not enough to improve societal conditions. Without simultaneously advancing social structures and addressing issues such as inequality and poverty, technological advancements can exacerbate human suffering. Simply relying on technological development without considering its impact on society can lead to a greater divide between the rich and the poor, further impoverishing those already marginalized. To truly create positive change, technological advancements must be accompanied by social progress and the establishment of equitable systems.
