Summary

This quote suggests that technology is shaping both our physical gestures and the behavior of individuals. It implies that technology has a twofold impact: on one hand, it allows us to be more precise in our gestures by providing tools that enhance our abilities; on the other hand, it can also make gestures more brutal, possibly by increasing the efficiency and power behind actions. Additionally, this quote hints at how technology shapes the nature of individuals, possibly making them more perceptive but potentially also contributing to a less empathetic and compassionate society.
