This document discusses the nature and evolution of technology. It presents technology as the 7th kingdom of life that has its own agenda of increasing complexity, diversity, specialization, mutualism, ubiquity, sentience, and evolvability. Technologies evolve through a process of simultaneous invention and self-organization to become more powerful, efficient, and connected over time. While technology can be shaped and guided by human needs and values, it also has its own momentum and inevitable tendencies to progress in certain directions independent of direct human control.

What does technology want? That’s the question Kevin Kelly explored in his new talk. Kelly presented a new definition of technology: ‘anything useful invented by a mind’ – whether it be a hammer or the rule of law. So technology is more than gadgets; it’s part of a great story that started long ago, an extension of life and it is moving through us.
Innovations in science and technology for inclusive
This document contains information about Sweta Tiwari, a student pursuing her B.Sc in Biotechnology. It also defines science and technology, and discusses the relationship between the two. Science discovers fundamental information about how the universe works through research, while technology is the practical application of scientific knowledge. Examples provided are computers, which were invented based on fundamental scientific discoveries. The document also discusses inclusive development, innovations in India, and recent scientific developments like discovering a new class of planet, using cheap pipes to prevent lake bursts, the youngest game programmer, cancer-killing nanoparticles, and developing artificial bone marrow.
Technology and Dystopia, Indiana Linuxfest 2013
The document discusses the potential threats of technology and how free and open source software as well as increased technical literacy could help address issues of privacy, monopoly, and empowerment. It makes four recommendations: 1) increase technical literacy to empower people and encourage diversity; 2) work against media and software monopolies; 3) choose free and open source software/formats to have more control; and 4) preserve privacy to allow for more freedom and innovation. The presentation warns of dystopian outcomes if these issues are not addressed but also discusses how embracing these recommendations could help build a better world.
L05 How Innovation Happens
When innovators try to envision how people will use their product they often have different ideas on what people want. Products that are of superior technology may fail and inferior succeed, only because the inferior product has some features that people are looking for.
In this lecture we look at how new products or technologies get adopted my markets. We look at the Law of Diffusion of Innovation, which explains how this adoption happens. We also look at what it takes for a new innovation to move from being a visionary idea to a practical product, or crossing the chasm. Finally we explore the hype cycle.
In this lecture we look at how innovation happens. We look at the slow hunch, the liquid network, and serendipity.

The Rise of Citizen-Scientists in the Eversmarter World
Knowledge may be expanding exponentially, but the current rate of civilizational learning and institutional upgrading is still far too slow in the century of peak oil, peak uranium, and "peak everything". Humanity needs to gather vastly more data as part of ever larger and more widespread scientific experiments, and make science and technology flourish in streets, fields, and homes as well as in university and corporate laboratories. In this talk, H+ Executive Director Alex Lightman will give an introduction and overview of the big picture of H+ the organization, the magazine, and the conference, and how the participants can make the most of their experience and relationships at the conference. The case for ending embargoes and other beaver dams in the rivers of potentially global knowledge will be made. Lightman will offer a vision of a properly functioning Eversmarter world, ending with a call to action to become a citizen-scientist, and a recruiter of other citizen-scientists.
Alex Lightman is the Executive Director of Humanity+ and the chair of the H+ Summit @ Harvard and of the inaugural H+ Summit held December 2009 in Irvine, California. He is a director of Fortune Nest Corporation (Bahrain, Beijing and Beverly Hills, CA) and of Inova Technology. He is an award-winning educator, an inventor with several US patents issued or pending and the author of over 800,000 words, including 12 articles in h+ magazine, and Brave New Unwired World: The Digital Big Bang and The Infinite Internet, the first book on 4G wireless. He has advised NATO, the US Dept. of Defense, and a number of governments on Internet Protocol version 6, the 128-bit successor to the current Internet, IPv4. Lightman's advocacy led to the only Congressional hearings held on US Internet Leadership, conducted by The Government Reform Committee and at which Lightman testified, leading to implementation of Lightman's recommendations to mandate IPv6 for the US government and require IPv6 as part of government information technology contracts. Lightman studied Civil and Environmental Engineering, and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983 (Course I-A), and attended graduate school at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He lives in Santa Monica, California, where he runs marathons, and attempts his first Ironman triathlon, in the UK, on August 1, 2010.
L05 Innovation
The document discusses several theories of innovation, including that new technologies are created by combining existing technologies in new ways (combinatory process), that innovation happens through exchange of ideas in liquid networks like coffee houses, and that the prepared and collaborative environment of these networks allows for serendipitous discoveries and "slow hunches" to develop into major innovations over time. Major innovations often have origins many years before becoming widely adopted due to the time it takes to build new platforms and for them to diffuse through populations according to theories like the adjacent possible and the 10/10 rule.
L04 Adjacent Possible
At any given time, with all the knowledge we have, new knowledge can emerge. We call this the adjacent possible. It explains why new inventions are invented when they are, and why they are not possible before. Adjacent possible is a very useful term to understand the progress of technology. Technology evolves by using prevailing technologies to improve upon. Thus technology is combinatorial and built in layers. With each layer new ideas can be built upon the previous layers. Thus Gall´s Law says that any complex system that works is built of simpler systems that work.
We will look at the adjacent possible and some ideas that came when all the enabling technologies are available. We also look at an idea that was not possible to build at the time, Charles Babbage engines.
Technovation
This document provides an introduction and overview of technology and nanotechnology. It begins by welcoming the audience to Sootak since 2011 and introducing the chairman, Ezzeldin El-Shazli. It then discusses how technology has become integral to modern life. The document defines technical innovation, or technovation, as the development of new ideas and processes using technology. It provides several definitions of technology from different perspectives. The bulk of the document focuses on nanotechnology, defining it as the science dealing with structures on an atomic or molecular scale. It discusses pioneers in nanotechnology like Richard Feynman and inventors of the scanning tunneling microscope. In closing, it asks what would not be considered technology.

L02 A Journey Exploring Technology
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your father and your childs. Nothing changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
Any new technology that gets wide acceptance in society needs to be adopted by people. We will explore that type of people are the first to adopt new things, and what types come later.
At any given moment it is easy to look back to see how technology has changed over time. At the same time it is difficult to see what transformations are taking place in current moment, and even more difficult to see where things are going.
In the late 19th century a revolution in science took off. It was easy to see the vast number of inventions and entrepreneurial spirit of the time. At the dawn of the 20th century, it seems that everything had been invented. Yet, in the 20th century we saw more innovations and more technologically advanced than in all history of mankind before that. Never in history have we seen such dramatic changes in the way people live and work.
In this lecture we explore what to make of technology. We define the term we will use in the course. Terms defined are technology, product performance, and innovation to name few.
Technological Information System
This document provides information about different members of a group and discusses the history of technology and innovation. It describes how early humans used basic stone tools and fire to survive and how tools have evolved over time, from copper and bronze tools to modern machinery.

Innovation is the change in technology. The question is this: how does innovation happen? Many people have believe that new ideas come from brilliant inventors that have lightbulb moments or an epiphany. Greek scholar Archimedes had a Eureka moment, Newton discovered the theory of gravity when the apple fell on his head, and so on. This idea has been popularized, but the truth is quite different. Most discoveries are based on long evaluation - slow hunches, and collaboration.

Technology
Technology has progressed greatly since early humans first used tools like rocks and fire. While new technologies have benefits like medical advances and communication tools, they also pose risks if misused or overused. Current technology relies heavily on non-renewable resources and pollution, threatening the planet's survival. Unless society changes its relationship with technology and prioritizes sustainability, our path of rapid technological development may ultimately lead to environmental destruction.

Science breakthrough ii
The document discusses the relationship between science, technology, and scientific breakthroughs. It notes that many scientific breakthroughs were developed into technologies that helped improve quality of life by curing diseases, increasing food production, and developing more efficient machines. Some breakthroughs were discovered accidentally and led to other discoveries, while others resulted from scientists' perseverance. The document provides several examples of how ancient and modern technologies originated from scientific findings and breakthroughs to solve problems and meet human needs.
Space Travel Will Save the Planet
Space travel and colonization can help address overpopulation and limited resources on Earth in 3 key ways:
1) It can offset population growth on Earth by facilitating emigration off the planet, taking pressure off resources and allowing for greater sustainability.
2) Establishing colonies in space provides access to vast new resources like energy from the sun and room for expansion, enhancing our capacity to support larger populations.
3) Colonies in space act as an "off-site backup" for humanity, reducing risk from global catastrophes on Earth that could wipe us out and set back civilization.
Technology will destroy our planet
Technology will Destroy our planet.
This document discusses how technology could potentially destroy the planet through several means: misuse of electronics and machines leading to job losses and environmental waste; advanced artificial intelligence becoming uncontrolled and causing harm; influence of technology on mental and physical health of younger generations; and how human activity is negatively impacting the environment through pollution and resource depletion. The conclusion argues that while technology has benefits, its side effects on the planet must be reconsidered to avoid future disasters to nature and humanity.
Technology will destroy our planet
Human technology has enabled violence since early tool-using ancestors and continues to damage the environment through war and widespread resource use. Weapons evolved from stone tools to metal and firearms, fueling conflicts over land, religion, and power that required natural resources. Modern issues include nuclear weapons destroying landscapes and poisoning water, fossil fuel emissions warming the planet, and raw material depletion through rainforest destruction. While technology improves lives, its development and mass production negatively impact the environment unless a more sustainable approach is taken.
#Educamp 2014: TED für Lehrer
The document provides an extensive list of TED Talk titles covering a wide range of topics from climate change and sustainability to technology, science, design, and more. It encourages the use of TED Talks in education by suggesting watching videos for classroom use, organizing one's own TEDx conference, hosting TEDx events for youth, integrating TED-Ed lessons regularly into classes, and using translation features for alternative English instruction. The document stresses that there is more to explore on the TED website and through contacting local TEDx organizers.
Technological advance in a democratic society
The document discusses the history and social impact of technology. It notes that early technological advances like tools, wheels and textiles improved quality of life and enabled human growth. More recent medical advances such as antibiotics and surgeries have saved many lives. The document examines different perspectives on how technology develops and its relationship with society, including how social structures influence technological diffusion. It also explores some negative environmental and social impacts of technology and argues that technological solutions will be needed to address problems created by earlier advances.
Future technology ideas about to change our world.docx
The future is coming, and sooner than you think. These emerging technologies will change the way we live, how we look after our bodies and help us avert a climate disaster.
Technology moves at a rapid pace these days. It can sometimes feel like every single day there is a new technology that is going to revolutionise the future. But with so many massive technological upgrades happening all the time, it is easy to lose track of the amazing ways the world is progressing.
Sometimes new future technologies can offer amazing development, with the possibility of changing the future… while also being incredibly creepy.
This is one way to describe the idea of necrobotics which, as the name suggests, involves turning dead things into robots. While this sounds like a plot to a creepy horror film, this is a technology being explored at Rice University.
A team of researchers turned a dead spider into a robot-like gripper, given the ability to pick up other objects. To achieve this, they take a spider and inject it with air. This works because spiders use hydraulics to force their version of blood (haemolymph) into their limbs, making them extend.
Right now this concept is in its infant stages, but it could mean a future where dead animals are used to further science… it all feels very Frankeinstein-like!
Not every technology bettering our future has to be complicated, some are simple, yet extremely effective.
One of these kind of technologies has come from some Finnish engineers who have found a way to turn sand into a giant battery.
These engineers piled 100 tons of sand into a 4 x 7 metre steel container. All of this sand was then heated up using wind and solar energy.
This heat can then be distributed by a local energy company to provide warmth to buildings in nearby areas. Energy can be stored this way for long periods of time.
All of this occurs through a concept known as resistive heating. This is where a material is heated by the friction of electrical currents.
Sand and any other non-super conductor are warmed by the electricity passing through them generated heat than can be used for energy.
Exo-skeletons
Exo-skeletons have existed for years, both in popular science fiction and real life. But as the years have gone on, the technology has rapidly become more impressive.
Most notably in recent years, we have seen the technology now become more readily available for the young. The Atlas 2030 is described as the most advanced mobile medical exoskeleton designed specifically for children.
While it is not commercially available yet, this technology could aid children in the future, offering a pediatric lower-body medical exoskeleton. This could help children with severe neuromuscular diseases, cerebral palsy or spina bifida walk.
Launching satellites into space
Who would have thought the best way to get satellites into space was with a makeshift catapult! Okay, it is a lot smarter than a catapult but the technology exists in a similar way.
Deepanshu
Scientific knowledge has led to remarkable innovations that have provided great benefits to humanity such as increased life expectancy through disease cures and more efficient agriculture. Technological developments have created opportunities to reduce labor needs and generate new industrial products and processes. Advances in communication, information, and computation technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to both science and society. Improving scientific understanding of the universe and life profoundly influences human conduct and prospects.
Technology will destroy our planet
The document discusses how technology will destroy the planet through three main points. First, technology reduces jobs and causes increased unemployment as tasks can now be automated. Second, technology has made society reliant on it and less social. Third, rapid global warming from human activity and technology is affecting ecosystems and increasing extinctions while polluting oceans. It suggests recharging without technology through socializing face-to-face, reading books, and going for hikes in nature. However, it argues that as technology has become a burden, it does not believe society can be saved from the environmental impacts of advancing technology.

physics,techchnology,andsociety 090801144056-phpapp01
This document discusses the relationships between physics, technology, and society. It defines science as understanding the natural world, with examples like volcanoes and atoms. Physics discovers facts and relationships and creates theories to make sense of them. Technology is defined as using science to develop products that help people, with examples like Xerox machines and cellphones. Basic home technologies are listed as the television, computer, and appliances. The document discusses how physics drives new technologies and how technology allows new scientific experiments. It concludes that science and technology improve life through innovation and development.
Technology and the outdoors: Some experiential possibilities
There is a philosophical tension in outdoor education about the role of technology. On the one hand, we strip clients of modern technology and engage them in simple living, adventurous activities in natural environments. On the other hand, there are new experiential learning opportunities available via mobile devices, the internet, and multi-media, etc. How might 21st century technology be used to enhance outdoor education? Possibilities include digital photography, video, audio, maps, blogs, wikis, geocaching, pedometers, and virtual environments. More information: http://wilderdom.com/tech
Tech essay
1) Technology has resulted in various forms of pollution that threaten human life and the environment, such as chemical pollution from factories, vehicles, and air conditioning systems that damage the ozone layer.
2) Technology also has the power of destruction if used wrongly or for purposes of war, as seen with atomic bombs and nuclear weapons that can destroy millions of lives.
3) The potential hazards of future technologies are unknown and not well-researched, as seen with human cloning, which could allow cloned people to be controlled to commit crimes if developed further. Technology may pose unknown threats to humanity.

Space Travel Will Save the Planet
Space travel and colonization can help address overpopulation and limited resources on Earth in 3 key ways:
1) It can offset population growth on Earth by facilitating emigration off the planet, taking pressure off resources and allowing for greater sustainability.
2) Establishing colonies in space provides access to vast new resources like energy from the sun and room for expansion, enhancing our capacity to support larger populations.
3) Colonies in space act as an "off-site backup" for humanity, reducing risk from global catastrophes on Earth that could wipe us out and set back civilization.
Technology will destroy our planet
Technology will Destroy our planet.
This document discusses how technology could potentially destroy the planet through several means: misuse of electronics and machines leading to job losses and environmental waste; advanced artificial intelligence becoming uncontrolled and causing harm; influence of technology on mental and physical health of younger generations; and how human activity is negatively impacting the environment through pollution and resource depletion. The conclusion argues that while technology has benefits, its side effects on the planet must be reconsidered to avoid future disasters to nature and humanity.
Technology will destroy our planet
Human technology has enabled violence since early tool-using ancestors and continues to damage the environment through war and widespread resource use. Weapons evolved from stone tools to metal and firearms, fueling conflicts over land, religion, and power that required natural resources. Modern issues include nuclear weapons destroying landscapes and poisoning water, fossil fuel emissions warming the planet, and raw material depletion through rainforest destruction. While technology improves lives, its development and mass production negatively impact the environment unless a more sustainable approach is taken.

Future technology ideas about to change our world.docx
The future is coming, and sooner than you think. These emerging technologies will change the way we live, how we look after our bodies and help us avert a climate disaster.
Technology moves at a rapid pace these days. It can sometimes feel like every single day there is a new technology that is going to revolutionise the future. But with so many massive technological upgrades happening all the time, it is easy to lose track of the amazing ways the world is progressing.
Sometimes new future technologies can offer amazing development, with the possibility of changing the future… while also being incredibly creepy.
This is one way to describe the idea of necrobotics which, as the name suggests, involves turning dead things into robots. While this sounds like a plot to a creepy horror film, this is a technology being explored at Rice University.
A team of researchers turned a dead spider into a robot-like gripper, given the ability to pick up other objects. To achieve this, they take a spider and inject it with air. This works because spiders use hydraulics to force their version of blood (haemolymph) into their limbs, making them extend.
Right now this concept is in its infant stages, but it could mean a future where dead animals are used to further science… it all feels very Frankeinstein-like!
Not every technology bettering our future has to be complicated, some are simple, yet extremely effective.
One of these kind of technologies has come from some Finnish engineers who have found a way to turn sand into a giant battery.
These engineers piled 100 tons of sand into a 4 x 7 metre steel container. All of this sand was then heated up using wind and solar energy.
This heat can then be distributed by a local energy company to provide warmth to buildings in nearby areas. Energy can be stored this way for long periods of time.
All of this occurs through a concept known as resistive heating. This is where a material is heated by the friction of electrical currents.
Sand and any other non-super conductor are warmed by the electricity passing through them generated heat than can be used for energy.
Exo-skeletons
Exo-skeletons have existed for years, both in popular science fiction and real life. But as the years have gone on, the technology has rapidly become more impressive.
Most notably in recent years, we have seen the technology now become more readily available for the young. The Atlas 2030 is described as the most advanced mobile medical exoskeleton designed specifically for children.
While it is not commercially available yet, this technology could aid children in the future, offering a pediatric lower-body medical exoskeleton. This could help children with severe neuromuscular diseases, cerebral palsy or spina bifida walk.
Launching satellites into space
Who would have thought the best way to get satellites into space was with a makeshift catapult! Okay, it is a lot smarter than a catapult but the technology exists in a similar way.
Deepanshu
Scientific knowledge has led to remarkable innovations that have provided great benefits to humanity such as increased life expectancy through disease cures and more efficient agriculture. Technological developments have created opportunities to reduce labor needs and generate new industrial products and processes. Advances in communication, information, and computation technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to both science and society. Improving scientific understanding of the universe and life profoundly influences human conduct and prospects.
Technology will destroy our planet
The document discusses how technology will destroy the planet through three main points. First, technology reduces jobs and causes increased unemployment as tasks can now be automated. Second, technology has made society reliant on it and less social. Third, rapid global warming from human activity and technology is affecting ecosystems and increasing extinctions while polluting oceans. It suggests recharging without technology through socializing face-to-face, reading books, and going for hikes in nature. However, it argues that as technology has become a burden, it does not believe society can be saved from the environmental impacts of advancing technology.
