With improvements in human knowledge and technology many such needs can now be met. There is a natural feeling that such technologies should be taken advantage of, in order to meet human needs. Often this feeling gets extended to a feeling that as technologies develop they should be taken advantage of without particular attention being given to what human desires or real needs would be met by taking advantage of the technologies and exhausting available limited resources. To avoid the addictions of technocrats it is important that technical students be educated so that they can perceive the dynamics of the process of becoming a technocrat. The dynamics of the technological imperative need to be understood and transcended, else there is a strong tendency for highly competent people to succumb to the addictions of technocrats who do not deal honestly with the powers & limitations of their knowledge, techniques, and resources. Healthy affirmations of techniques are clearly associated with honest consideration of what are the real basic human needs. Affirmations of techniques which are not clearly associated with consideration of what are the real basic human needs are affirmations which need to be critically examined to see if they are expressions of technocratic idolatry. Care needs to be taken to be assured that such affirmations do not lead to personal and communal disintegration. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
