"Science, sketched in simple terms as truth and reason, depended on a belief in the power of systematic observation, rigorous reason, and rationally designed technological tools."
"The project of science had t do primarily with the practical challenge of bringing the natural world under human control"
"Medicine and sanitation were improving life chances, better weapons improved new conquests, and innovations in technology-electric lamps, sewing machines, motion pictures, radio, motor cars, and then airplane-promised a utopia on earth."
Technology+Democracy(+Capitalism)=Progress
"Within such a global system, all individuals, regardless of race, gender, creed, or sexual orientation, could exercise freedom of speech and religion; make choices about local, state, and national issues; and engage in representative forms of government."
"America could be the ideal source of such a technological took, many believe, because it progressive system of democracy and capitalism creates an environment within which technological and scientific progress occurs rapidly and without undue barriers posed by over-regulation."
Technology+Education=Progress
"It is connected in the American consciousness with the literacy and technology link, in general, and, more specifically, with the national project to expand technological literacy.
"These technological projects can contribute in major ways to our country's progress as a nation if we can educate American citizens."
