About the quote

This quote by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto speaks to the idea of specialization in modern society. In the past, individuals often had to be well-rounded and knowledgeable about a variety of topics, but today, with the vast amount of information available, many people are able to focus on a single field and become experts in it. This quote is a reminder that while specialization can allow us to master certain areas, it can also lead to us knowing less and less about the world as a whole.
