This report discusses problems emerging at the crossroads between technology in its traditional sense and a wider postmodern definition of technology as ways of designing and creating environments, taking into account their various consequences for the future development of our societies. Technology in this latter sense is no longer looked upon simply as a hope; it is also seen as a threat in itself because of its role, for instance, in military operations and environmental problems. Large-scale technologies result in large-scale consequences. Thus technology enters into the field of ethics – where it sometimes challenges established positions. A wider definition of technology also embraces the very acts of creating, designing and forming – seen both in relation to physical and virtual artefacts and in relation to new models of thinking and understanding. Technology in this sense puts new demands on teachers and students. They must not only achieve an understanding of technology in itself but also gain insights into its historical, cultural and social roots and foundations. The articles in this report were presented at two International Research Seminars in 2002, the first in Stockholm, Sweden and the second in Krakow, Poland.
