“Historically, the idea that you take something novel and you break it has been seen as the ultimate rejection of Enlightenment values, of progress, of civilization - because how could you possibly move forward if you break technology? I think that that misses the point, that if you introduce any kind of technology, what you're introducing is a new way of living and the consequences of that new way of living for people who were enmeshed in a different way of living need to be thought through.” PeopleThinkingKindDifferentMovingValuesBreakTechnologyNovelProgressMissingEnlightenmentConsequenceUltimateMoving ForwardRejectionIntroducing Author:Sheila Jasanoff
“We need a more widely shared burden on the part of society to keep asking, "What are our collective values, what kind of world do we want to bequeath to our children, and to what extent are these particular technological developments helping us go in those directions? I think that corporations, every bit as much as governments, social movements, and universities - we all have a role to play in asking those questions. I don't think anybody should have a monopoly on that responsibility.” ThinkingWorldKindChildrenHelpingValuesResponsibilityOur ChildrenBurdenTechnological Author:Sheila Jasanoff
