Abstract
Technology can be seen as a set of interwoven contextual circumstances which condition its generation, application and reproduction. Especially important here is the linkage between the so-called hard or gadget technologies and the soft or intellectual social technologies upon which the former rest. However, there is a close connection between science and technology on the one hand and development on the other, which has been at the very core of both spontaneous and induced, endogenous and exogenous, streams of development thought.
