这段是什么意思？请帮帮忙，谢谢！

Question

The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than a moron, is a modern phenomenon;as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk o flife. Many activities which were once pursed for their own sakes, are often given up in despair; they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a lifetime to master.Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing room?

Answer 1

就现在的现象来说，科学家，离开了自己的特殊领域就不如一个白痴；就像一个学者很难认识到在科学领域的巨大进步。相似的，专业化已经直接影响到了许多普通的人们。许多曾经因为它们自己的利益而一度缩小的活动，经常在绝望中被放弃；研究者告诉我们，它们需要的技术，要花一生的时间来掌握。在你可以在自己的客厅里听世界上最好的钢琴家弹奏时，为什么要去学弹钢琴呢？

这就是全部的意思了。其中有一句Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk o flife.最后两个单词没弄懂是什么...是不是打错了？

希望可以帮到你~

The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than a moron, is a modern phenomenon;as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology.
现代现象就是科学家离开自己特定领域就和痴愚者差不多，照现在的样子发展技术领域将产生很多不注意拓宽知识面的专家学者.
后面的是什么意思，我就不知道了。
