“I learned a lot of different things from different schools. MIT is a very good place…. It has developed for itself a spirit, so that every member of the whole place thinks that it’s the most wonderful place in the world—it’s the center, somehow, of scientific and technological development in the United States, if not the world … and while you don’t get a good sense of proportion there, you do get an excellent sense of being with it and in it, and having motivation and desire to keep on” IfsThinkingWorldDifferentStatesWholeSchoolSpiritDesireMotivationUnitedUnited StatesLearningWonderfulDevelopmentMembersVery GoodExcellentProportionDifferent ThingsTechnologicalGood SensePlaces In The WorldGood PlaceLogical ThinkingMitWonderful PlacesTechnological Development Author:Richard P.

“While the rich reap most of the benefits of technological development, the poor bear an unequal burden of dealing with the consequences of the resulting increased pollution. The poor continue to live in greatest proximity to the sources of pollution, the infrastructure and machinery of industry. They work in the most polluted and physically dangerous workplaces. And these same individuals, living and working closest to the sources of environmental catastrophe, are also the ones most lacking decent health care.” CareIndividualPoorRichDangerousSourceDevelopmentIndustryBearsBenefitsConsequenceEnvironmentalBurdenHealth CareDecentPollutionClosestLackingTechnologicalWorkplaceCatastropheInfrastructureMachineryReapProximityTechnological Development Author:James H.

“Silicon Valley, after all, feeds off the existence of computers, the internet, the IT systems, satellites, the whole of micro electronics and so on, but a lot of that comes straight out of the state sector of the economy. Silicon Valley developed, but they expanded and turned it into commercial products and so on, but the innovation is on the basis of fundamental technological development that took places in places like this [MIT] on government funding, and that continues.” StatesWholeGovernmentExistenceEconomyProductsDevelopmentInternetComputerBasesInnovationFundamentalsValleysTechnologicalFundingSatellitesSiliconSilicon ValleyElectronicsMitTechnological DevelopmentGovernment Funding Author:Noam Chomsky
“The ideals of technological culture remain underdeveloped and therefore outside of popular culture and the practical ideals of democracy. This is also why society as a whole has no control over technological developments. And this is one of the gravest threats to democracy in the near future. It is, then, imperative to develop a democratic technological culture.” WholeCultureDemocracyDevelopmentIdealsThreatDemocraticPracticalsTechnologicalImperativesPopular CultureTechnological Development Author:Paul Virilio
