Resumen
The approaching decade of the nineties, as the last decade of this centrury , adds special significance to the persisting concerns on goals of developmento and how well they were managed during the past decades. Invariably the place of science and technology is drawn into these discussions. Ofcourse there is nothing sacrosanct about a calendar year or a decade, since progress in human affairs is a cumulative ffect of continuum of good and bad events over time and space. Nevertheless, symbolic occasions are useful to provoke organized thinking on a scale large enough to draw attention to the effects of thoughts and actions of the past as a guide for future behaviour.
