Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed. | United States Department of Commerce SPECIFICATIONS TOLERANCES AND OTHER TECHNICAL Technology Administration National Institute of Standards and Technology REQUIREMENTS FOR WEIGHING AND MEASURING DEVICES as adopted by the 91st National Conference on Weights and Measures 2006 NIST Handbook 44 2007 Specifications Tolerances and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices as adopted by the 91st National Conference on Weights and Measures 2006 Editors Tina Butcher Linda Crown Lynn Sebring Richard Suiter Juana Williams National Institute of Standards and Technology Weights and Measures Division Gaithersburg MD 20899-2600 U.
