Abstract
Technology has made enormous contributions to modern society, but there still remain many attention-challenging aspects of its influence upon social development; some of these aspects are discussed here by this noted scientisteducator, who says that many future social developments can be realized only through better technical developments and better management. The type of management that is most likely to be successful in the long run will direct and inspire, but not too rigidly control.
