The next entropy watershed

Jacques Neirynck

European Management Journal, 1990, vol. 8, issue 1, 37-39

Abstract: Jacques Neirynck questions whether "technical progress" is progress at all. The argument depends on a law of physics which says that the entropy of a closed system is continually increasing - in the case of the physical world that technology is depleting global resources and creating disorder. We are inevitably approaching another entropy watershed when the world could leave one technical system and enter another, with spectacular results.
