Conclusion
Francois Hetman states that science and technology have contributed to a rapid interrogations of the world economy, particularly though the influence of technology and production and consumption patterns. The rapid diffusion of new technological developments makes the proliferation of new techniques a planetary phenomenon. To halt or to prevent socially undesirable new technologies at national level is practically global, control and management of technology are likely to be effective only if they can be organized on a world wide scale. This is a vast objective the full achievement of which is probably beyond immediate reach. Nevertheless, there is a growing consensus that even partial agreements would be highly valuable.
