Abstract

The article proposes the establishment of forensic science groups of mixed disciplines to be responsible in preparing critiques of technologies which affect the future of society. It cites that forensic science can be used to remedy the defects in society brought about by the moderation of technology. The proposal is based on several premises which include change is dominated by technology, the absence of an institution to monitor the general implications of a specific technology, and competitive pressures in politics and economics do not guarantee the exploration of the societally significant implications.
