Does that mean there is no such thing as scientific truth? How, if at all, does science differ from politics, art, or religion, in that case?

Have computers truly changed our lives so much that we can call this a revolution like the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century? The challenge of this question is that unless we know something about the earlier “revolutions”, Agricultural 10,000 years ago and Industrial 300 years ago, we aren’t in a place to make comparisons so you may need to have a little reading. Unfortunately Americans seem to have a tendency to feel that the "last great thing" is the greatest thing. We get very impressed with the "latest" technology.

Why do the soft technologies open more opportunities for women? To what extent have these technologies impacted the perceptions of men’s and women’s roles in the economy, within marriage, and in society as a whole?

Winner suggests that we surrogate our responsibility to these technologies. Do you think Winner is right or wrong? Be sure to give reasons for your answer and include specific technologies to support your point.

What is different about today’s processes? What makes them potentially dangerous? What should we consider natural and what is artificial? Genetically modified food is a hot topic. Most of us don’t know much about biology. It is very important in this question that you actually understand what is meant. Don’t assume you know, find scholarly information on line. Be clear.

LAS 432 Inspiring Innovation-- snaptutorial.com LAS 432 Week 4 DQ 1 Technology and Art For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com LAS 432 Week 4 DQ 1 Technology and Art We normally think of the arts as very different from technologies in spite of the fact that art (with perhaps a few exceptions) is practiced with the help of technology. This practice creates interdependence between technology and art. To what extent does art respond to, or is shaped by, the technology that enables it? To what extent have advanced and accessible digital technologies, such as websites, digital photography, and YouTube, changed the relationship between art and technology? Are these technologies reshaping our attitudes toward artists?

As technology becomes more sophisticated, how can citizens and political leaders judge and understand whether a given technology offers great perils or great promises? When great technological projects, such as venturing farther into the galaxy or developing new life-extending medicines, are proposed, how should government officials make decisions about how tax dollars should be spent?

This enhanced connectivity has important implications for individuals, small businesses, corporations, and governments. Thomas Friedman has been a strong supporter of globalization and emphasizes the benefits of globalization’s technologies and outcomes. Do you agree with his view? Why or why not?
