In this sense the technology can help lead the way, if you will. Sure, other factors will shape how and to what extent technologies are implemented, but the desire isn't formed entirely by inspiration and need.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-67474074473182211482011-02-25T20:11:42.687-05:002011-02-25T20:11:42.687-05:00Science & technology are similar to politics i...Science & technology are similar to politics in the sense that you need to border on extreme if you expect to make even a moderate impact. This is Corning's dream, not what they expect to come to fruition. <br /> Besides, technology is the result of human inspiration. It is the product, not the driver. My suspicion is there would be a greater need for easy access to relavant information that would drive this development, not because we randomly developed this technoglass that we suddenly feel compelled to use everywhere. I believe it's a misreading of the relationship. <br /> Technology & science can't "lead the way", they can only inspire further response, whether that response is productive or destructive is strictly a human concern.Brent Klokishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239694301089339257noreply@blogger.com
