older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity,
greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated
flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and
other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is
full of examples. In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms.

At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic turn of mind. Had they been "economists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed t A. Technological development influences society’s future. B.
