Wow! I had no idea there was a computer history museum...
A quote on the web site: "Like no industry before, technology thrives on a torrent of revolutionary thinking. The incredible improvements in human living and changes in social thought are born from groundbreaking ideas." This really epitomizes the capabilities of technology to influence our lives in a positive way. This really goes hand-in-hand with Kuhn's book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Technology has the ability to affect so many other sciences. As technology advances, our ability to understand every other aspect of science as well.
A museum covering the history of technology really contributes to our appreciation of what it has done for us as a society and what it can, and hopefully will do, in the future.
