TECHNOLOGY |
THE TOPIC

Even with a vast investment of private and
public dollars, technological solutions to today’s
pressing problems, including the energy shor-
tage, are probably a. decade cr more away, —
This observation ot America’s currenteash and
crash’ approach to problem solving by
technology is made by John G. Burke, professor
of history at the University of California, Los .
Professor Burke is the national
coordinator of Courses by Newspaper’s fall
series ‘‘Connections: Technology and Change"
that will begin appearing weekly in (The Daily
Herald) beginning Friday, Sept.23.

“Historically, technological innovation has
taken a great deal of time to achieve,” Professor
Burke explains. “But Americans, who have
great faith in the power of technology to solve
problems, then to think technology can work
wonders in a hurry’’ especially if you throw a lot
of money at a problem.

Before such new technologies as synthetic
fuels and fusion power can be used to ease the
current energy crunch, Burke says there are still
“many major; problems’’ to be resolved. As A
result, 1é may take until the 2ist century before
their impact is felt, Burke predicts.
