“To many of us now, computers, silicon chips, data processing, cybernetics, and all the other innovations of the dawning high technology age are as mystifying as the workings of the combustion engine must have been when that first Model T rattled down Main Street, U.S.A.

“The way to solve the conflict between human values and technology needs is not to run away from technology. That's impossible.
