“The effort to improve the conditions of man, however, is not a task for the few. It is the task of all nations-acting alone, acting in groups, acting in the United Nations, for plague and pestilence, plunder and pollution, the hazards of nature and the hunger of children are the foes of every nation. The earth, the sea and the air are the concern of every nation. And science, technology and education can be the ally of every nation.” MenChildrenEarthNationsUnitedEffortActingTechnologyGroupsAirSeaConditionsConcernTasksEnvironmentalHungerAlliesPollutionUnited NationsFoePlagueHazardsPlunderPestilenceScience TechnologyTechnology And Education Author:John F.

“Actually, if you go back to what Marx said in The Communist Manifesto over a hundred years ago, when in talking about the constant revolutions in technology, he ended that paragraph by saying, "All that is sacred is profaned, all that is solid melts into air, and men and women are forced to face with sober senses our conditions of life and our relations with our kind."
