kranzberg

1st –Technology is neither good nor bad;nor is it neutral.
2nd - Invention is the mother of necessity.
3rd - Technology comes in packages,big and small.
4th - Although technology might be a prime element in many public issues,nontechnical factors take precedence in technology-policy decisions.
5th - All history is relevant,but the history of technology is the most relevant.
6th - Technology is a very human activity –and so is the history of technology.
