    Thomas R WinpennyARTICLETechnology and Culture2002

    The late Mel Kranzberg enjoyed reminding people that "technology is a very human activity." What better example could anyone find of this great truth than the saga of the 1,800-foot cantilevered Quebec Bridge over the St. Lawrence River, originally conceived in 1851 and yet not finally completed [End Page 173] until 1918, following two dramatic accidents in 1907 and 1916 that killed seventy-five and eleven respectively?

The application of steam power to cotton textile production in the 1830s and 1840s had produced dramatic results from Newburyport, Massachusetts, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and there was nothing mysterious or opaque about this technology. Indeed…
