Passage 4

We are tempted to assume that technological progress is real progress and that material success is the criterion of civilization. If the eastern people become fascinated by machines and techniques and use them, as western nations do, to build huge industrial organizations and large military establishments, they will get involved in power politics and drift into the danger of death. Scientific and technological civilization brings great opportunities and great rewards but also great risks and temptations. Science and technology are neither good nor bad. They are not to be tabooed but tamed and assigned their proper place become dangerous only if they become idols.
