摘要
很大一部分美国人相信有天使,但这种观念不妨碍他们以我们认为理性、高效。
Today we no longer expect technical progress to resemble the old image of scientists bending over an experimental apparatus and nodding their heads in agreement,Instead,our model of technical advance increasingly resembles ordinary politics. Diverse interests now contend for influence over the design of technologies just as they have always fought for influence over legislation.Each alternative design of medical technologies, transportation systems,the Internet,educational technology,and so on has its advocates whose way of life or wealth depends on control of technical designs.They argue more or less rationally for their point of view and criticize each other.Technological controversies appear on the front pages of the newspapers daily and we are aware that we have entered a new era in which the rational critique of rationality is becoming the basis of political life.D
