Abstract
"Technology is changing the face of our society. Often it happens unseen. It's hard to stand back and grasp the impact of the car, electricity, telephones, TV, computers and the Internet. They're now part of our life, things we could hardly imagine being without. Yet ethical challenges like cloning and GM food, and environmental impacts like global warming have made us aware of the risks of letting our skills run ahead of our judgement. There is now a recognition that we need to take wider ethical and social values into account in technology. This has been SRT's aim for over 30 years."
