VALDES CASTRO, Rolando; TRICIO GOMEZ, Verónica  e  RODRIGUEZ CANO, Luis R.. Relationship between Scientific Research Activities, Technological Development and Material Production from 1850 to Date: Implications on Human Development. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.30, pp.231-263. ISSN 1850-0013.

Through the study of scientific publications and patents, we highlighted some statistical trends in the evolution of activities of research and technological development, from 1850 to date. These trends are interpreted on the basis of the analysis of the relationship between scientific research, technology and material production in different phases of history, such as the introduction of the concept of social consumption technology revolution. Our hypothesis is that nowadays the scientific community is creating a knowledge system (involving nature, technology and society), that could be the platform from where a social consumption technology revolution, centered on sustainable human development, could emerge.
