Carl Sagan in Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science writes "technology is a tool, not a panacea" (p.40). This sentence is tacked on parenthetically to his charge that while science and technology may be responsible, in part, for some of the problems in the world, they are problems because of insufficient public understanding and efforts to "accommodate our society to the new technologies."
