It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For an industry that's built on science, the technology world sure has its share of myths.
In consequence, science is more important than ever for industrial technology.
Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us.
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.
Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.
It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
Technology is neutral and sterile. Now, technology is the nature of modern man; it is our environment and our horizon. Of course, every work of man is a negation of nature, but at the same time, it is a bridge between nature and us. Technology changes nature in a more radical and decisive manner: it throws it out.
I mean, technology is amoral. It has no morality.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
