| Summary/Abstract |
The advent and domination of modern technology today extends from our daily domestic use all the way to national defence and international communications.
However, whenever the questions are posed about the modern technology such as the nuclear power plant in Koodankulam or the introduction of genetically modified crops, we find that even the best among us don't have a framework or approach that is clear and easy to understand. Question such as: what is the limit to the usage of modern technology? How do we measure its benefits as against its harms? And more importantly, when to reject modern technology? Are not always eliciting a clear response from intellectuals, leaders and even scientist and technocrats. We find that they are unable to balance their professional interest against the common interest for humanity.
