Understanding this quote
The quote says that connecting the world through technology is not enough by itself. If people neglect their inner lives, values, or sense of humanity, that connection loses much of its benefit. “Short-circuit our souls” compares this neglect to an electrical failure, warning that technical progress should not come at the expense of what makes life meaningful.
