Development is not a unidirectional activity. It is generally agreed that development relates to changes and improvements, particularly of a socio-economic nature, for all, rather than a handful of people in all or a few countries of the world. In fact, the happiness and progress of the whole world community are the aim for which scientists and technologists work ceaselessly. But is it not a shocking disclosure to the ardent supporters of modern technology that the majority of scientific and industrial development is prodigiously enjoyed by just a meagre percentage of the urban population while the long-cherished desire of even basic amenities still remains a dream to the large population, living especially in rural areas of the third world? Economic growth is necessary but by no means sufficient for social progress, and supplementary measures are needed if the problems of poverty, diseases, hunger, and unemployment are to be effectively dealt with. Obviously, there are sufficient reasons to call for changes in the basic philosophy and workings of the technology to properly fulfil the requirements of the common masses as well, and that is the development of Human Technology.
