The potential of computer-driven technology and mind-broadening global communication
are indisputable, but only, as Penrose (1995) points out, if they are used with sensitivity and
understanding. The new technologies allow the expansion of our physical Selves and
broaden our mental capacities and senses, but this does not exhaust the basic question: will
they enhance genuine intelligence? Hence, the key task that our technological society faces
is, according to Penrose, a search for the missing science of consciousness.
