Programs of technology assessment are increasingly being used to attempt to control the potential harmful impact of new technologies. Typically such programs are based on the implicit assumption that technology is an exogenous force in social and economic development. There is much evidence to assume, however, that technological development is induced by social and economic forces. If one adopts this assumption, technology assessment should focus on the inducement mechanism and how to perfect it. Analysis should be concentrated on society and not on some new technological device
