"The applications of science have built man a well-supplied house, and are
teaching him to live healthily therein. They have enabled him to throw
masses of people against one another with cruel weapons. They may yet
allow him truly to encompass the great record and to grow in the wisdom
of race experience. He may perish in conflict before he learns to wield
that record for his true good. Yet, in the application of science to the
needs and desires of man, it would seem to be a singularly unfortunate
stage at which to terminate the process, or to lose hope as to the
outcome." (Vannevar Bush - July 1, 1945)
