The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.

Science and technology revolutionize our lives but memory tradition and myth frame our response.

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology but I was always trying to build things.

The respect for human rights essential if we are to use technology wisely is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary it is integral to science as also to scholarship in general.

Instead in the absence of respect for human rights science and its offspring technology have been used in this century as brutal instruments for oppression.

And what is religion you might ask. It's a technology of living.

It's not just the effect of technology on the environment on religion on the economic structure on society on politics etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.

The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course that's a total joke and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever.
