Or is it after all possible that technology is independent, neutral and free of any values, whose | |benefits and faults are chiefly by the use to which it is put by man? | |Is it possible for traditional societies to import technology and then try to weave it into their own cultural fabric?

And of course | |a host of other questions that are fashioned ever anew with respect to technology...
