1. Technology as Moving
Force in U.S

2.  “Technology is the application of science, engineering and
industrial organization to create a human-build world.”
Richard Rodhes
 “we define technology as the organization of knowledge for the
achievement of practical purposes.”
Emmanuel Mesthene
 "I see technology as a creativity process involving human
ingenuity"
Thomas P. Hughes

3.  "Nature intended me for the tranquil
pursuits of science, by rendering
them my supreme delight."
 “Science is more important in a
republican than in any form of
government.”
Thomas Jefferson

4.  "Lincoln never came across a machine
or invention or scientific idea that he
did not stop to investigate, both
physically and mentally".
Jason Emerson -
Lincoln the Inventor

5.  “Science…has won for us a great
liberty in the physical world, a
liberty from superstitious fear
and from disease, a freedom to
use nature as a familiar servant;
but it has not freed us from
ourselves.”
Woodrow Wilson
(Inaugural Address in
Princeton, 1902)

6.  "Investment in technology drives
economic growth, generates new
knowledge, creates new jobs,
builds new industries, ensures
sustained economic and national
security, and improves our quality
of life ... My balanced budget plan
maintains vital investments in
science and technology ... That is
the common ground on which
American economic progress and
quality of life depend.”
Bill Clinton,1996

7.  "We’ll restore science to its
rightful place, and wield
technology’s wonders to raise
health care’s quality and lower its
cost. We will harness the sun and
the winds and the soil to fuel our
cars and run our factories. And we
will transform our schools and
colleges and universities to meet
the demands of a new age".
Barack Obama
(Inaugural Adress,2009)

8. Thesis Statement:
US approach to the innovations and technology has taken the country
further and it has turned the nation into one of the most powerful countries
in the world.Through this process, its ideological background, investments
to innovations and (consequently) power of manupulation supplied from
technology have taken a vital role.

9. Ideological Background;
 What is Ideology?
"a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which
forms the basis of economic or political theory and
policy"

10. Ideological Background;
Manifest Destiny
 John Winthrop – «A Model of Christian Charity»
 "We shall be a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people
are upon us."
 American Exceptionism
 Unity
 Work Ethic
 Mobility

11. Ideological Background;
 Territorial Expansion

12. Ideological Background;
 John Gast – American Progress

13. Mobility and Technology
 Erie Canal

14. Steam Railroad
"becoming synonymous with the
popular streotypes of the west"

15. Frontier;
 Friedrich Jackson Turner – «The
Significance of Frontier in American
History»
 «The further west, the more American
the community.»

16.  "Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of
science and space, unsolved problems of peace
and war, unconquered problems of ignorance
and prejudice, unanswered questions of
poverty and surplus.«
John F. Kennedy

17.  Vannevar Bush- «Science, the Endless Frontier»
 "It has been basic United States policy that Government should foster the opening of
new frontiers. It opened the seas to clipper ships and furnished land for pioneers.
Although these frontiers have more or less disappeared, the frontier of science remains. It
is in keeping with the American tradition - one which has made the United States great -
that new frontiers shall be made accessible for development by all American citizens."

18.  "There is in mankind a driving urge to explore the unknown.In
past ages, much of this exploration geographical-the search for
new continents and new seas.In our generation the most
challenging frontiers lie in the search for new knowledge about
nature and about man, and the most dramatic progress has
been made on the frontiers of science...If we can reach and cross
this frontier, our generations will have furnished a significant
milestone in human history."
Milton Stanley Livingston

19. Pragmatism
 1870s
 John Dewey
 William James
 Charles Sanders Pierce
 "If it works,it's true."

thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of study. The trouble with
most of us is that we fall down on the latter -- thinking -- because it's hard work
for people to think, And, as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said recently, 'all of the
problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. "
