Nor, inconsequence, does the availability of the many realbenefits provided in recent times by science andtechnology, including the computer sciences, bringfreedom from every form of slavery. On thecontrary, the experience of recent years sho s thatunless all the considerable body of resources and
potential is guided by the moral understanding, andby an orientation to ards the true good of thehuman race, it easily turns against man to oppresshim.
