内容説明
Technology is not value-free; nor does it exist in a vacuum. It needs a social basis, is affected by it and influences it. This is illustrated by an examination of cross cultural case studies representing simple, intermediate and complex societies. Certain forms of technology exist when conducive values and structures sustain them. However, this relationship is not one way. Technological changes do precipitate social and value changes. It is impossible to sustain egalitarian values in a society involving technology based on hierarchical relationships. Understanding this connection is vital if we are to keep some control over the way in which technology affects us.
