論工業社會及其未來-技術「壞的」部分不能和「好的」部分分開

技術「壞的」部分不能和「好的」部分分開

121

另一個工業社會不能被改革以有利於自由的原因是因為現代技術是一個一體的系統,所有其中的部件都互相相關。

你無法擺脫技術「壞的」部分而只保留「好的」部分。

以現代醫療為例,醫療科學的進步依賴化學、物理學、生物學、電腦科學以及其它領域的進步。先進的醫藥治療需要昂貴、高科技的儀器,只有技術進步、經濟富庶的社會可以達成。

很明顯的,若沒有整個技術體系和隨之而來的一切,醫學不會有長足的進展。


THE ‘BAD’ PARTS OF TECHNOLOGY CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE ‘GOOD’ PARTS

121

A further reason why industrial society cannot be reformed in favor of freedom is that modern technology is a unified system in which all parts are dependent on one another. You can’t get rid of the “bad” parts of technology and retain only the “good” parts. Take modern medicine, for example. Progress in medical science depends on progress in chemistry, physics, biology, computer science and other fields. Advanced medical treatments require expensive, high-tech equipment that can be made available only by a technologically progressive, economically rich society. Clearly you can’t have much progress in medicine without the whole technological system and everything that goes with it.
