These technologies are set to revolutionise the worlds of medicine, agriculture, travel, retailing ... so much that is familiar in our daily lives. Used wisely, they could be of huge benefit to mankind. Used wrongly, they could mean lost opportunities and unnecessary risks. The challenge for society is immense. What would be the cost of failure to embrace dynamic change? What kind of ethical dilemmas will arise from further breakthroughs in genetic engineering? Will the spread of new technologies create new social divisions? What sort of societies will prove most adept at harnessing the vast technological potential? How can countries best co-operate to maximise the benefits of spillovers? This book reviews the extraordinary promise of technological advances over the next twenty years or so, and assesses some of the key issues -- economic, social, environmental, ethical -- that decision-makers in government, business and society will face in the decades ahead. 000012252 650_0 $$aTechnological forecasting$$vCongresses. 000012252 650_0 $$aTwenty-first century$$vForecasts$$vCongresses. 000012252 650_0 $$aTechnological forecasting. 000012252 650_0 $$aTechnology. 000012252 650_0 $$aTwenty-first century. 000012252 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations. 000012252 650_4 $$aLAW AND ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SCIENCES : ECONOMIC SCIENCE : SPECIFIC QUESTIONS 000012252 650_4 $$aBIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 000012252 650_4 $$aTECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE : DIFFERING PATTERNS OF INNOVATION 000012252 650_4 $$aTECHNOLOGY AND PLANET-WIDE CHALLENGES 000012252 903_0 $$aOECD PUBLICATIONS ; No 50119$$v1 000012252 942__ $$cMON 000012252 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p2000-00-0585$$r133.00$$u12813$$bMAIN$$10$$kB 75 OECD.T$$v2000-05-26$$zLibrary$$70 000012252 980__ $$aBIB 000012252 999__ $$c12606$$d12606
