Abstract
The biggest problem facing this author at least in tackling the topic assigned to him is to determine whether or not anything ‘appropriate’ can still be said about ‘appropriate technologies’. We have had in recent years quite a windstorm of discussion about adaptive, intermediate and/or appropriate technologies, all of which have had a good number of sensible things to say but not many of which have necessarily advanced us very far on the road either to enhanced theoretical or practical wisdom. I am not at all confident that this paper can do better.
