Palabras de Wolbring

Science and technology applications are not value neutral. The intentions, purposes, and actions that shape the direction, advances, and policies for science and technology use, research, and development embody the perspectives; purposes; prejudices; particular objectives; and cultural, economical, ethical, moral, spiritual, and political frameworks of different social groups and society at large.

This is true for any given society in which these human activities take place. Until now inventions have been slow enough to allow society to integrate new science and technology realities into their social fabric and social contract. The speed of these cycles has been steadily increasing, however, allowing less time to evaluate how new science and technology products affect social cohesion and the social contract, and how negative impacts can be mitigated and positive impacts enhanced.
