The beginning of what would become the appropriate technology (AT) movement is commonly credited to Mohandas Gandhi, who helped lead India to independence from Great Britain during the 1930’s and 1940’s. Gandhi advocated the use of small, local, and mostly community-based technological solutions as a way to help people become self-reliant and independent. He rejected the common belief that modern, industrialized technological development always amounts to progress. Instead, he thought that technology is best produced in a decentralized manner and best used in ways that benefit the people as much as possible. Gandhi believed in a radical revolution of production; he rejected the factory model of industrialization, which values the product and production over the individual worker.
