[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses technological and intellectual advances that
have taken place in the 20th century and whether or not such an

appearing on the intellectual horizon or a technological

important to understand that the foundations of any enterprise
determine the heights to which it can rise and the breadth to
which it can expand. This writer takes the viewpoint that the
advancement of knowledge over the past century has been
evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Bibliography lists 2
