I learned of this non-profit thinktank in DC through google. The site has a lot of interesting content and links, but doesn't seem to have been updated since 2001.
From their mission statement:
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Center for the Study of Technology and Society is to study and report on the important technological issues that affect society. Through original research and in-depth analysis, the Center will emphasize and clarify the point that advances in technology are neither inherently good nor inherently evil. Every new technology has the potential to cause problems, and the capacity to solve problems. In all its work, the Center will be guided by the belief that properly utilized technology can be beneficial, but that uninformed government interference will only stymie technological achievement and close off avenues to progress.
The founder, Adam Keiper, is now managing editor of The New Atlantis, "A Journal of Technology & Society" (writing from a mostly Conservative viewpoint, I believe), begun in 2003.
