We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything ?

can anyone tell me whta this quote means???

I think it might be referring to that we don’t know much about our surroundings.
Like people eveloped in technology, and not EXPERIENCING science first hand.
Like nature, and such.

80% of the population live in urban areas where you can’t see the milky way at night, where you don’t smell fresh air, where there aren’t plants and other native wild life.
That we are exquisitely dependent of science to tell us what IS and isn’t.
That we are content with being fed what our lives our, without discovering it on our own.
