Abstract: Abstract The mounting storm of literature on appropriate technology has centred either on the criteria for the choice of technology or on the impediments to the diffusion of these technologies. In contrast, little attention has been directed to the problems associated with the generation of appropriate technologies. It is this aspect of the subject which will be explored in this paper.
