Abstract :
To the Editor: I have read with interest Frank Turner´s article that appeared in the March issue of Technology and Society. I agree with most of the points made by Mr. Turner. Indeed, he has brought out the state of the present technoculture and the value basis succinctly. But I would like to add that the problem is deeper and the whole position of science and technology in relation to “development” needs reevaluation from a paradigmatic position.
