Shifts in American culture now seem more apparent, and to have occurred more rapidly. It is now to be argued that our values and moods have shifted and that what was once seen as admirable self-reliance evolved into money-making, status-seeking utilitarianism, and to narcissism and expressive individualism. It is far more clear now that the United States's role as manufacturer and producer of raw materials has declined. Ours in now primarily a service and information processing economy. New technologies, especially the computer and television, seem likely to have as great an effect as did the invention of movable type.""
