In recent years a sharp value distinction has their bitter opponents, but today many people have come to fear technology much more than science. For these people , science may be perceived as a serene, objective source for understanding the eternal laws of nature, whereas the practical manifestations of technology in the modern world now seem to them to be out of control.
Many historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increase geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.

47.至少在理论上,科学较少地关心其研究成果的实用性,而更多地关注于归纳出普遍的法则;但是在实践中,科学与技术却相互关联,无法割裂。
48.人们认为科学为技术创新提供理念,因此,对于工业文明中的任何一次意义重大的进步,纯理论的研究是必不可少的,当然,这种观念其实是个神话。
