The intent of this chapter is to outline a distinctive way of
thinking about issues of technology and society that has
characterized many Nordic approaches to the topic. One of the
characteristics of this approach has been the recognition of the
worth of human labour. Technology is not seen as an alien force,
but something which is itself a product of human labour, and it can
be designed and utilized in ways which augment human skills and
expertise, rather than degrading them. What is particularly
striking, at least to this author, in this approach is that we are
presented not simply with a vision of how things could be better in
our society, but with concrete exemplars of how we can build such a
better world. It is in recognition of this fact that I have chosen
the title of this chapter, as it emphasizes that, while the
tradition of Utopian literature is the - lineation of a supposedly
idea world which exists no-place (u-topos, in Greek), these visions
can be an inspiration for quite practical activities on the ground,
as steps towards their realization. As Wilde notes (in the quote
above) this is a never-ending quest, as with each achievement, we
recognize that there are further bridges to cross and places to be
visited.
