These slides are about the science and technology in the 20th century. This presentation also discusses the changes in the society particularly in the Western countries. It is based on the works of Peter Drucker's "Technology and Society in the 20th century" and Alvin Toffer's "The First, Second and Third Wave"
This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought about by science and technology in society.
Such realities pervade the personal, the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human development.
Scientific knowledge and technological development happen in the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and philosophical underpinnings at play.
Why is it that everyone is in the pursuit of the good life? One must find the truth what the good is before one can even try to locate that which is good.
Science and technology studies, or science, technology and society studies (STS) is the study of how society, politics, and culture affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how these, in turn, affect society, politics and culture.

In this talk for the students of IIM Udaipur, I have discussed how AI as technology needs to deliver business value in order for AI as a discipline to be seen as relevant to business. I have also spoken briefly about my own research work.
In the twentieth century, it was believed that the only reliable means to improve the human condition came from the new machines, chemicals and many different techniques. Including recurrent social ills and the environment that accompanies technological advances rarely have affected this faith. Today, there is a clear perception that science and technology have provided progress for humanity, but, along with it, have the ability to also destroy it.
HOW TO MAKE THE UTOPIA OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY USED ONLY FOR THE GOOD OF HU...Faga1939
This article aims to present how to make the utopia of using science and technology exclusively for the good of humanity come true, ending the dystopia represented by science and technology also used to produce evil for humanity. The use made of science and technology is so intense that a significant portion of people believe that they only bring benefits to society. Today, there is a clear perception that science and technology have provided progress for humanity, but that, along with this, they also have the capacity to destroy it. Science and technology, commanded by market capitalism, are not only seen as liberating, but, in certain situations, as dehumanizing and enslaving human life. Technology has shaped our lives because we are at the mercy of interconnected systems and, what is serious, because we are submissive to their authority and state capitalism, molding ourselves to its functioning. To ensure that science and technology are used exclusively for the good of humanity, the reform of capitalism must occur in all countries of the world with the construction of the Social Welfare State like the one built in the Scandinavian countries which, being a hybrid between what is most positive in the capitalist and socialist systems, would prepare the ground for the achievement of the highest level of civilization with the construction of democratic socialism in all countries of the world.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF ENGINEERING TO SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS THRO...Faga1939
This article aims to demonstrate the great contribution of Engineering to the progress of science and technology throughout human history. Engineering and the Engineer have existed since the most remote times. It can be said that Engineering and Engineer have existed since the appearance of man on the face of the Earth. If we understand Engineering as the art of using technique to accomplish what the human imagination conceives, we will see that, as long as humanity exists, Engineering will be present. Engineering, understood as the art of making, consists of applying scientific and empirical knowledge to the creation of structures, processes and devices, which are used to convert natural resources into adequate forms to meet human needs.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
3. Technology is central in war and peace.
The changes in change in structure, methods,
and scope led to an increased production of
technology.
There is remake in man’s way of life all over the
globe.
4. There are three separate aspects:
1. Structural Changes
the professionalization, specialization, and
institutionalization of technological work
2. Changes in Methods
the new relationship between technology and science
3. The “Systems Approach”
6. Technological
activity (19th
century) is craft.
This is done by
individuals alone
and without much
formal education.
By the 20th century, the
technological activity has
become highly
specialized and
thoroughly professional.
7. The 19th century:
A. Formal Education
Typical inventor: a mechanic starting at age 14 years old or below
Notable people consider themselves as mechanics and inventors
9. Technically educated man with the college degree
began to assume leadership about the time of
World War I.
Technological work since 1940, as primarily been
done by men who were educated in universities
and degrees eventually became prerequisites for
technological work.
10. Charles Franklin Kettering:
inventive genius of General
Motors
Electric self-starter
(automobiles)
Non-toxic freezing
compound (refrigeration)
Tetra-ethyl lead (high-
performance automobile
and aircraft engine)
14. Laboratories
A. Size of a laboratory has no relation to its research and its results; it
needs:
exclusive interest in research, discovery, and innovation
brings together men from a wide area of disciplines
embodies a new methodology of technological work squarely
based on the systematic application of science to technology
B. Strength of laboratories: “specialist” and “generalist”
15. What distinguishes today's research laboratory from any
predecessor is, first, its exclusive interest in research,
discovery, and innovation.
Secondly, the research laboratory brings together men from a
wide area of disciplines,
each contributing his specialized knowledge.
Finally, the research laboratory embodies a new
methodology of technological work squarely based on the
systematic application of science to technology.
17. Technology has become science-based. Its method is now
"systematic research." And what was formerly "invention" is
"innovation" today.
It was World War I that brought about the change.
Technology has become in this century somewhat of a
"science" in its own right. It has become "research"—a
separate discipline having its own specific methods.
Technologists followed the work of scientists, therefore
electrical technology has been closely related to the physical
science of electricity.
18. Alexander Graham Bell on
telephone
Hermann von Helmholtz
on the reproduction of
sound
19. Guglielmo Marconi on
radio
James C. Maxwell on
electromagnetic-wave
propagation theory
20. World War I, scientists were mobilized for war effort:
science’ power to spark technological ideas and to
indicate technological solutions and technological
problems
21. Technology is NOT, then, ‘the application of science
to products and processes,’ as is often asserted.”
“Know-how” of technologists > “know-what of
scientists”
Science as the basis and starting point of today’s
technology
Technology has become a science in its own right; a
separate discipline
23. Technological "research" has not only a
different methodology from "invention"; it leads to
a different approach, known as "innovation," or
the purposeful and deliberate attempt to bring
about, through technological means, a distinct
change in the way man lives and in his
environment.
24. Research method
Research team
Other elements of research discipline
1. A definition of the need
2. A clear goal
3. Identification of the major steps to be taken and the
major pieces of work that had to be done
4. Constant "feedback" from the results of the work on the
plan
5. Organization of the work so that each major segment is
assigned to a specific work team
25. Scientific "discovery" has always been measured
by what it adds to our understanding of natural
phenomena. The test of invention is, however,
technical--what new capacity it gives us to do a
specific task. But the test of innovation is its
impact on the way people live.
26. First major innovation: mass production of Model T
automobile by Henry Ford
27. Innovation defined:
“a technical solution to the economic problem of
how to produce the largest number of finished
products with the greatest reliability of quality at
the lowest possible cost.”
31. Only Japan, of the non-European, non-western
countries, had then begun to build up a
modern industry and modern technology.
32. It was, indeed, almost an axiom--for
Westerner and non-Westerner alike--that
modern technology was, for better or worse,
the birthright of the white man.
33. Technology, as a creature of man, is a
problematical, as ambivalent, and as capable
of good or evil, as is its creator.
41. Only sixty years ago, men depended on nature
and were primarily threatened by natural
catastrophes, storms, floods or earthquakes. Men
today depend on technology, and our major
threats are technological breakdowns. The largest
cities in the world would become uninhabitable
in forty-eight hours were the water supply or
the sewerage systems to give out.
43. News, data, information, and pictures
have become even more mobile than
people. They travel in "real time", that
is, they arrive at virtually the same time
as they happen.
45. The metropolis has become the
habitat of modern man. Yet
paradoxically we do not know how
to make it habitable.
46. In the final analysis this surely means
mastery by man over himself, for if
anyone is to blame, it is not the tool but
the human maker and user. "It is a poor
carpenter who blames his tools"
47. It is also true that "better tools"
demand a better, more highly
skilled, and more careful
"carpenter".
