“We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.”
- Marshall McLuhan
Quote
- The technologies we create aren’t neutral; over time, they influence how we think, feel, and interact.
- Our digital tools begin as extensions of our desires — to connect, create, or control — but eventually they reshape our habits, values, and attention.
- Innovation isn’t a one-way street; when we build new tools, we’re also building new versions of ourselves.
Question
Does my use of technology support or strain my relationships?
Question
- Technology can help us stay connected, but constant notifications and screen time may pull us away from the people right in front of us.
- Digital communication can enhance relationships when it’s intentional, but it can also become a substitute for deeper, face-to-face connection. Checking in with how often we’re present vs. distracted around others reveals whether our tech habits are building or eroding trust and intimacy.
Quill
- Digital tools like budgeting apps and investment platforms are reshaping how people engage with money, especially for younger users who report clearer gains in financial literacy.
- But more access doesn’t always mean more equality—tech-savvy users gain the most, while older and less digitally fluent groups risk being left behind.
- The takeaway? Technology can support better financial behavior, but without thoughtful design and education, it may deepen existing gaps rather than close them.
