Abstract

Unintended and unexpected impacts of technology make experimental research and development a thrilling part of human being. Often they turn out to be very useful for a society, but many times they do not. Thus, the innovating scientist, engeneer, manager or politician tries to control the pay off of his decisions on technological developments, and he looks for alternatives if it seems necessary to him. So far technologies develop within constraints being set by more or less powerful organizations and markets.
