Title
Science and technology : from prescientific times to the present

Abstract
The first part of this examination begins with the prescientific are, ca. 3.400 BC. The 2nd from ca. 1.600 AD to the present, omits the explosion of quantity and variety of information, but follows the main thread, in the light of psychology and logic. The view, although much clearer, is still controversial. Strong relations tie the origins of science with those of information science. The role of the latter will probably be enhanced as future civilizations become more closely dependent on classification of ideas and on science and technology
