Foreword

The fusion of our human and science-based infrastructure will be remembered in the twenty-first century. As represented in the Internet and "e-commerce," the injection of information technology into our economy is altering communication, reducing the globe, producing riches, and transforming everyday routines. Such remarkable research-based skills contrast with a sobering reality: Scientific discoveries, new innovations, and technology have piqued the curiosity of American adults for more than two decades, according to studies. However, just around one out of every researcher understands or appreciates the importance and process of scientific investigation. While the public has a high level of faith in science, for many it is a blind trust. The invention and effect of various major technologies, some of which are detailed here. The advancement of science and technology requires more from every one of us. One danger is that technical virtuosity separates what most people can see and manage from what a few people who have been specifically equipped and taught can see and manipulate. Even if we are motivated to comprehend the consequences of new information, we need more straightforward discussion of dangers and advantages, as well as clearer explanations of why the most recent discovery is significant. Citizens want facts that will educate their thinking before they adopt another new miracle designed to alleviate, cure, or otherwise enhance life. We can easily go throughout the world and provide products and services wherever they are required. Expanding computer and communications technologies are allowing access to massive amounts of information and entertainment. As impressive as these technical accomplishments are, there are undoubtedly many more significant obstacles and possibilities to be achieved. While some seem to be distinct, many others are indistinct, and many more are undoubtedly beyond the scope of most people's minds. Science and technological advancement seems to be so unstoppable that the importance of policy decisions is frequently overlooked. Although knowledge seems to develop in a natural manner, sponsorship and, increasingly, stewardship have played an important role in the twentieth century.
