Summary: This book is provides a picture of technological involvement in the US in 1960. The revolution is all around us. We see, hear, and feel evidences of it in new and more efficient machines, sources of power, ways of getting work done; in better ways of transporting, processing, storing, and marketing food; and in the wiser and more effective use of resources. The revolution gives us new benefits every month, even every day — better food and more of it, improved industrial products, less work, more leisure. It can give us the elements of a more purposeful existence and the power to live more abundantly. All this, and more, is described here in an effort to enlarge the knowledge and wisdom with which daily we face the demands of our personal lives and our national fortunes. The mere possession of tools, gadgets, machines, packages, things is not enough. Wisdom requires an understanding of what the march of technology can do to people and for people.
