How Does Technology Change the World? - Works Cited
Information gathered from:
Technology and Altruism
“Technology is building bridges between people on opposite sides of the globe, but it is also building ever stronger walls between neighbors. Some people are surrounding themselves with modern technology while paying little attention to the needs of others.” This site has information that really ties back to my essential question, “How does technology change the world?” in a philosophical way, rather than the practical application. Could lead to great student discussion.
The Institute
http://www.ieee.org/portal/site
A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology. The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. It contains scholarly articles on the implications of technology on our world. It also has links to other resources that will enable students to research technological topics and advancements.
Society for the Social Implications of Technology
According to the website, the scope of the society includes such issues as environmental, health and safety implications of technology; engineering ethics and professional responsibility; history of electrotechnology; technical expertise and public policy; peace technology; and social issues related to energy, information technology and telecommunications. I think it is a perfect resource for students researching the essential question in my unit.
IEEE Technology and Society Magazine
http://ieeessit.org/technology_and_society/
This website contains the journal for the Society for the Social Implications of Technology, again another excellent resource for students to research the essential question.
Society for Philosophy and Technology
Founded in 1976, the Society for Philosophy and Technology is an independent international organization that encourages, supports and facilitates philosophically significant considerations of technology. I was so excited to find this site, because it ties in so perfectly with my unit.
