Science, technology, and development
some models of their relationship
Luis A. Camacho Naranjo
pp. 81-87
A clarification of the concept of development, and of its relation to technology, is of more than purely academic interest. Technology is conceived as the necessary step from underdevelopment to development,1 as the indicator of the general situation of a country, or as the necessary condition for human life as such. According to Robert Solow, in a 1956 paper for which he was awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Economics, the rate of technological progress determines the growth of an industrialized country.2
