| Abstract: | Powerful possibilities offered by modern science and technology are increasingly being tested for their ecological suitability. Cultural and ethical concerns are beginning critically to affect the development and use of technology. The regular character of a synergy required to evaluate scientific-technological progress points to the appearance of a new technological paradigm which is based on intelligence. The new paradigm can already be recognized in general trends. At the same time it is both visionary and normative, since it promotes the search for adequate answers to the global challenges with which we are faced. |
