  1. ObjectiveRecognize the responsibility of individuals to evaluate current and emerging technologies in relation to individual, family and societal goals. 2. Explain that technology creates new economic opportunities and social benefits and, at the same time, produces new social problems. (MDTECHVSC Page 27)

  2. CHANGE – READY OR NOT!

  3. EMERGING TECHNOLOGY Emerging Technology is technology that is so new that few people have access to it at this time. We don’t always know what technology is coming, but often we have clues that allow us to form reasonable predictions.

  4. WE HAVE REASON TO PREDICT. . .

  5. Emerging Technologies • Nonembryonic adaptable stem cells to repair damaged tissue • Genetically engineered “light switch” to turn on and off selected areas of the brain • Functional clothing • Liquid to stop bleeding • SPOT – Smart Personal Object Technology (watch) • Homing particles to deliver chemotherapy to exact cancer cells • Nanodevices that can listen

  6. Nanotechnology • Creation of technology that is extremely small

  7. Our Antibacterial tableware which with nano silver coating could kill the attached bacteria and microbial in ten minutes and the effect can last for a long time even permanently and keep the surface always clean. Thus, our antibacterial tableware and kitchen tools can prevent people from the following diseases: duodenitis caused by spirillums, virosis hepatitis, dysentery caused by salmonella and food poisoning caused by golden staphylococcus Nano:Antibacterial Utensils

  8. The university of CA is doing a 25 million dollar National Science Foundation study to examine the impact of nanomaterials. “As a society, we should be doing research on these effects ideally before products to to market, not after.” Alexandra Navrotsky, U of CA Nano: No Smell Socks

  11. Objects to Replace Relationships • Toy makers are considering dolls to represent parents, due to the large number of latchkey kids.

  12. Super Foods • If people are unable to learn to eat healthy foods, we will create “super foods,” such as broccoli Jell-O

  13. In Vitro Health Care • With the completion of the Human Genome Project, it could be possible to identify and cure disease before birth

  14. Lapware • Less person to person contact for learning to read, and more computer technology from infancy

  15. Virtual Mental Health • Virtual Reality simulators and brain scans to be used in mental health therapy. • The patient can practice anger management in a mock situation.

  16. ARTIFICIAL BLOOD • DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH VIRAL TRANSMISSION IN BLOOD PRODUCTS, RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING ON CREATING BLOOD.

  17. CLONING • CLONING HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR MEDICINE AND FOR RESTORING EXTINCT SPECIES. Project idea

  19. BIO SCIENCE - MEDICAL “I THINK THAT MEDICAL SCIENCE IS THE NEXT TECHNOLOGY AREA IN THE 21ST CENTURY,THE KIND OF IMPACT THAT ELECTRONICS AND SEMICONDUCTORS HAVE HAD IN THE 2OTH CENTURY.” MICHAEL L. HACKWORTH PRES & CEO CIRRUS LOGIC INC

  21. In Japan, Robots Aid the Elderly • If you grow old in Japan, expect to be served food by a robot, ride a voice-recognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a nurse in a robotic suit — all examples of cutting-edge technology to care for the country's rapidly graying population.

  22. Positives More choices Better Health Negatives New decisions may be hard to make Personal research time Cost How will Emerging Tech affect Families

  23. WHAT WILL THE FUTURE HOLD? • WILL WE ALL SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE SOMEDAY?

  24. “New communications technology has drawn citizens of all societies into closer proximity with each other. Through satellite and cable technology, many of us are regularly in contact with people in countries other than our own.” source

  26. WILL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CULTURES DIMINISH OR WILL THEY BECOME MORE COMPLEX?

  29. ALL PEOPLE PLAY A ROLE WITH REGARD TOTECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. • PEOPLE CAN BE CHANGE AGENTS, CHANGE RECIPIENTS, OR BOTH.

  30. CHANGE AGENT OR CHANGE RECIPIENT?

  31. CHANGE AGENTS MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN. • THEY MUST BE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CHANGES AND BE WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM.

  32. A CHANGE AGENT MUST ASK: • 1. WHO WILL THE CHANGE HELP? • 2. WHO WILL THE CHANGE HURT? • 3. CAN ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS BE OVERCOME? • 4. WILL THE CHANGE DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD?

  33. EXAMPLES OF CHANGE AGENTS MANUFACTURER INVENTOR RESEARCHER DISTRIBUTOR GOVERNMENT CONSUMER

  34. A CHANGE RECIPIENT IS ONE WHO IS AFFECTED BY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE.

  35. A CHANGE RECIPIENT IS ONE AFFECTED BY THE CHANGE. • CHANGE AGENTS NEED TO ANTICIPATE THE EFFECTS ON THE CHANGE RECIPIENTS • THOSE WHO BENEFIT NEED TO BE WILLING TO HELP THOSE WHO WERE HURT BY THE CHANGE.

  36. CHANGE RECIPIENTS NEED TO BE OBJECTIVE AND OPEN MINDED WHEN FACED WITH CHANGE.

  37. THE INTERNET • THE INTERNET IS WASHING THROUGH SOCIETY AT A RATE THAT DWARFS THE SPREAD OF ANY PREVIOUS TECHNOLOGY • AMOUNT OF TIME FOR TECH TO REACH 1/3 OF AMERICAN HOMES: CHECK SOURCE

  42. A CAREER FOR YOU IN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY? “IN BIOTECH, YOU’RE MANIPULATING LIFE. YOU CAN MAKE MISTAKES AND ALTER THE PLANET. TO ME, THOSE ARE REALLY SCARY THINGS.” MICHAEL L. HACKWORTH BIOTECH CAREERS

  43. “Students faced with a future in an unpredictable world will need to gain the skills that will give them the greatest control over their lives and learning, and for this they will need to think critically and creatively at the highest possible levels, and to develop an awareness of global issues and problems.” source
