Rather than requiring people toknow an impossible amount about technology, we suggest that we can teach process forunderstanding and making decisions about any technology. This process can be applied to newproblems and new contexts that emerge from the continuous innovation and transformation oftechnology markets. Such a process offers a strategy for planning for and abiding the
