Abstract
One has only to travel from Hong Kong to New York or from Buenos Aires to Moscow to appreciate the power of technology as. a force for standardization in contemporary life. Similarities in architecture, in mass transit facilities, and in department store wares are visible reminders that technology transcends political ideology. Public discussions of nuclear arms limitations are psychological reminders of the unforeseeable anarchistic and irreversible nature of much technological development.
