Not just technology as in gadgets you get from Best Buy, but technology in the grander sense of strategies for eliminating disease, providing cheap but high-quality products to the world’s poorest, improving quality of life and social interconnectedness, and so on.  Technology we don’t notice because it’s blended in with the fabric of the world, but would immediately take note of its absence if it became unavailable.  (Ever tried to travel to another country on foot?)  Technology needn’t be expensive - indeed, if a technology is truly effective it will pay for itself many times over.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5;
