is (insofar as it is a notion of a single line without goal or limit) perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.

Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century. Lewis Mumford

is a concept that acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.

The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future. Frank Herbert

is a dynamic whose criteria are always flux. Technology studies complicates the notion of progress at the risk of dissolving it altogether.

But if the criteria of progress themselves are in flux, societies cannot be located along a single continuum from the less to the more advanced. Like Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions, but on the scale of society as a whole, constructivist technology studies complicate the notion of progress at the risk of dissolving it altogether.

Progress, this great heresy of decay. Charles Baudelaire

is a replacement for God. It is propaganda with all the defects of totalitarianism.

Yes, it's very irritating. These people are victims of propaganda. Progress has replaced God. Nietzsche talked about the death of God I think God was replaced by progress. I believe that you must appreciate technology just like art. You wouldn't tell an art connoisseur that he can't prefer abstractionism to expressionism. To love is to choose.

is achieved in great part by the work of astoundingly mediocre men, which indicates that modern science, the root and symbol of our civilization, finds a place for the intellectually commonplace man and allows him to work therein with success.

[I]t is necessary to insist upon this extraordinary but undeniable fact: experimental science has progressed thanks in great part to the work of men astoundingly mediocre, and even less than mediocre. That is to say, modern science, the root and symbol of our actual civilization, finds a place for the intellectually commonplace man and allows him to work therein with success. Jose Ortega y Gasset
