Technological change engages our attention. I suspect that even those who believe themselves to be essentially ignorant about technology - and perhaps not very interested in it - nevertheless experience,. from time to time, a sense of wonder at the extraordinary things which new technologies are able to do. Perhaps we are as bewitched by technology, and nearly as convinced of its omnipotence as were the Europeans of the last years of the nineteenth century.
