Abstract
Our modern civilization is increasingly run by science and modern technologies. The more sophisticated and sensitive, the more difficult they turn out in the handling. The latest example is the nuclear power plant of Fukushima in Japan; a devastating earthquake along with a tsunami triggered a meltdown. An alarming accident and an overall tendency which makes us ask: Who is deciding what kind of technology mankind needs for its prosperity as well as to secure its future – scientists, business and economic leaders, the politicians or the electorate?
