If we look back on the great political revolutions and the great technological revolutions both of which are clues to the range of mankind’s capacities and possibilities). we see a striking contrast. Political revolutions, generally speaking, have revealed man’s organised purposefulness, his social conscience, his sense of justice, the aggressive assertive side of his nature. Technological change, invention and innovation have tended, rather, to reveal his play instinct, his desire and his ability to go where he has never gone, to do what he has never done. The one shows his willingness to sacrifice in order to fulfil his plans the other his willingness to sacrifice in order to pursue his quest.

We have tried to make government more experimental and to make technological change more purposive, more focussed, more planned than ever before.
