Power Point presentation for Social Impact of Technology class. Summer 2017, presented to class and Kelly Woods.
Google glass
Google Glass is an augmented reality smart glasses product developed by Google. It was aimed at the male consumer with its earliest users in 2013. While promising for uses like hands-free camera, turn-by-turn directions and help for disabled people, it faced criticism around privacy concerns over its camera and potential health issues from prolonged use. Surveys found that few users were women and most were over age 25, with the technology possibly more appealing to older demographic groups. Later versions focused on enterprise uses with improved specs but a broader consumer launch remains uncertain.
5 Things Biology Can Teach Us About Breakthrough Design
Biology can teach us 5 things about designing for an ambiguous future. (1) Innovation occurs when environmental pressures are significant, so prototypes should be tested with real people in real contexts. (2) Mobile is our default state, so design for how people naturally engage rather than new technologies. (3) The best products extend our biological abilities. (4) Experiences and products become specialized over time. (5) Designing products that make people feel good, safe, and human drives engagement.
Sex, Drugs and The Infinite Scroll: The biology behind engaging design.
Biology can teach us important lessons about designing products for the future. Products should foster an environment where users can adapt through constant feedback and near wins. They should enhance human capabilities by extending our senses rather than focusing solely on technology. While experiences may solve similar problems, their designs should be specialized to different contexts. Most importantly, products should make users feel emotions like safety, recognition and belonging in order to drive behavior change.

2010 Ysgol Aberconwy Secondary School - Ergonomics for gcse
This document provides an overview of ergonomics from a presentation by Andy Brazier. Ergonomics considers how to design objects and systems to be easy to use, reliable, and safe for humans based on anatomy, physiology and psychology. It has applications in many fields from industry and transportation to healthcare, defense, and sport. Ergonomics careers involve applying principles of human factors to technology design, workplace organization, transportation safety, and more.
Ergonomics and ergonomic_designs
This document presents information about ergonomics. It defines ergonomics as the scientific discipline concerned with understanding interactions between humans and other system elements to optimize human well-being and performance. There are three main types of ergonomics: physical, cognitive, and organizational. The document discusses applications of ergonomics in engineering psychology, macroergonomics, seating design, and experiments. Benefits of ergonomics include decreased injury risk and increased productivity, efficiency, and morale.
Introd. Ergo.ppt
Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities. The document discusses ergonomics in the context of work and defines it as the laws to be observed at work to ensure human factors are considered. It provides examples of how ergonomics principles apply to issues like workplace and equipment design, lighting, noise levels, and more. The overall goal of ergonomics is to optimize efficiency, health, safety, comfort and performance for humans.
Everywhere Ergonomics
The biggest trend shaping the future of work over the next 10-15 years will be "everywhere ergonomics", according to Professor Alan Hedge. As technology becomes embedded in our environment and work becomes untethered from traditional locations, ergonomic design will need to optimize people's interactions with technology everywhere. Looking ahead, technology may be embedded in our clothing and surroundings, requiring an understanding of human capabilities and limitations. Ergonomics considers how to improve performance, comfort, health and well-being through the design of technology and work environments.
Healthcare in the Metaverse_HTDC.pptx
This document discusses healthcare in the metaverse. It begins with introducing the speaker and defining the metaverse. Key trends driving the metaverse include gaming, virtual fashion/art, and telemedicine. Healthcare applications in the metaverse include fitness/wellness, virtual gyms/relaxation, telemedicine using virtual hospitals, mental health treatments, medical education/training, and remote medical procedures/surgeries. Major challenges include healthcare data privacy/security, regulations, technology costs and limitations, and user adoption/adaptation. The presentation concludes that the metaverse should complement rather than replace real life, and both good and bad impacts on health are possible.

TEDx Brixton 2014 Tech Turmoil to Come
In a rapidly changing world of growing demand and diminishing resources merely polishing our old technologies and making industrial processes ever more efficient only delays the onset of crisis and collapse - it does not solve the fundamental problem. Sustainable futures are inextricably linked to radical change and the creation of new technologies based on new materials, processing, shaping, use, reuse, repurposing and recycling at minimal loss.
So we look to the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Nano and Bio-Technology to demonstrate advances are being made, and where the biggest societal changes will originate. We take a deep dive into the realm of human replacement and augmentation by machine, and the likely implications for individuals, groups, society, companies, institutions and governments.
Ergonomics austrial
Ergonomics is the process of designing products, systems, and environments to fit human abilities and limitations. Ergonomists apply knowledge from various fields like anthropometry, biomechanics, and psychology to improve how people interact with things. The goal is to create comfortable, safe, and productive environments by accounting for human factors in the design process. This means considering things like body size, strength, vision, and other human characteristics. Ergonomists study all aspects of a working situation and fit jobs to human attributes to optimize efficiency, health, and safety.
Work or Play
There was a time when Bell Boys would bring you a printed message from the electric telegraph; when a telephone operator would ask you for the number; when a typist would type your letter; when the Xerox operator would create your copies; when the computer operator would load and run your program; and when a secretary would organise your mail. Those days and those jobs are long gone, but at the time the concern was; what would these people do when they came redundant ? In reality all these people found employment as new jobs were created at the behest of new technologies. Web designers, CAD experts, IT specialists, data analysts, spread sheet drivers and many more replaced the old to the point of staffing shortages. Perhaps more poignantly; we are all now the bell boys, telephone operators, typists, printers, copiers, computer operators and secretaries - empowered by the self same technologies!
Today we see a global shortfall of some 200,000 Big data analysts complemented by similar needs for specialists and experts in Artificial Intelligence, Business Modelling, Decision Support Systems, 3D Printing, Genomics; Nano Tech and more. And there is a huge demand for people with the ‘hands on’ skills to design, build, repair and fix just about everything. The reality is that many of the people in these spheres derived their base skills through play. Wasting their young lives on a screen playing computer games, searching the web, hacking code, ‘building stuff’ and more turned out to be their springboard to employment and personal prosperity. But this presents companies and managers with many new challenges as they find it difficult to let go of the old and embrace the new.
Hierarchies and old management methods might just work for industries that are static and churning out the same product day after day, but for those facing rapid change and unpredictable demands, then agility and flexibility are ket, and that demands low flat structures with new and autonomous ways of working…
200603 future it-professionals
The document discusses the future of IT professionals and provides both positive and negative perspectives. Positively, IT jobs are increasing in number and agile development practices are becoming more common.

Transport is key to most companies, and even small issues in the transport chain can quickly become big problems if they are not tackled effectively. Nina talked about how companies
can manage their transport to reduce the risks and costs associated with vehicle movements on site, working on customer sites, safe loading and unloading, and driver behaviour.
Nina’s talk encapsulated this issue across all fleet types, including advice for cars, light commercial vehicles and HGV operators, providing a wide-ranging scope for all fleet managers.
