问一个OG6分范文里的句子

issue6分范文:
The statement attempts to bridge these dramatic changes to a reduction in the
ability for humans to think for themselves. The assumption is that an increased reliance
on technology negates the need for people to think creatively to solve previous
quandaries. Looking back at the introduction, one could argue that without a car,
computer, or mobile phone, the hypothetical worker would need to find alternate
methods of transport, information processing, and communication. Technology short
circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.
However, this reliance on technology does not necessarily preclude the creativity
that marks the human species.
我一直没看明白黑体字的这句话的意思,主要是circuit和obsolete,以及这句话和下段的however是如何承接起来的,求解释。
要写好issue,必先彻底明白范文!!

黑体前面的内容的意思是,技术让人们不用创新,不用思考。黑体的意思跟这个是一样的。技术缩短了这种(对于问题的)思考,因为技术让问题过时了。下文做了一个转折,意思是以来技术并不一定会排出人们依然在进行创新活动。

Technology short circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.

short circuit就是电路里的短路,这里可以理解成避免、绕开。大致意思是说,科技的出现让很多问题变得过时(obsolete),使得人们不需要再去思考这些问题的解决之道(因为已经解决了)。
