I don't think they'll ever replace the living and breathing, says Gary. They said that about e-books, says Kevin. You can't stop progress.
In "The Heart Goes Last," the characters Gary and Kevin engage in a conversation about the inevitability of technological progress. Gary expresses skepticism about technology's ability to replace human experiences and connections, emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of living, breathing interactions. This reflects a deeper concern about losing what makes us human in the face of advancing technology.
Conversely, Kevin counters Gary's viewpoint by referencing the emergence of e-books as a pivotal moment where similar doubts were raised. He believes that, despite concerns, progress in technology is unstoppable. This dialogue highlights the tension between valuing human interaction and embracing the advancements that redefine how we engage with the world around us.
