New Technologies Cause
Of Changes In Society
Our society is undergoing more
changes than it has for a long time.
Much of this is caused by the impact
of new technologies.
Accompanying the technological trans-
formation is a new generation taking
it all for granted. We are witnessing
an extensive re-examination of contem-
porary needs and purposes, and al-
though sometimes self-destructive in
its expressions, it contains the seeds of
a new and different society.
Somewhere between the extremism
and idealism of the very young and the
fears and anxieties of those who have
lived through too many crises in the
past is a new generation of responsible
and dedicated people. They have found
that problems are not solved by slo-
gans, but by hard work, dedication
and a strong sense of purpose, without
much publicity or hiss.
Among them, in large numbers, are
engineers. They are building, re-exam-
ining and changing the whole face of
the nation. In one form or another,
they hold in their hands the immediate
future with all that this means for the
longer term. However, in a modem in- j
dustrialized society such as ours, there
and equip themselves fully as citizens
as well as engineers.
Technology not only is an increasing
factor, but it gains momentum with
die years. It U important that the foun-
dations will be laid for a broader soci-
ety in which engineers pay a part com-
mensurate with their qualifications and
contributions.

WASHINGTON - Every
government tries to control the
flow of information to the

public opinion.
Dictatorships accomplish
this simply by seizing

industry into a propaganda
network, and jailing
recalcitrant writers.
