The world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity
BANDUNG, Indonesia — Indonesia is preparing to start Southeast Asia’s first high-speed rail service that will cut travel time between two cities from the current three hours to about 40 minutes. GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Guyana’s government said Wednesday said it has formally asked Facebook and Twitter to remove “illegal maps” posted by users showing large parts of Guyana as Venezuelan territory — reflecting a longstanding territorial claim by the neighboring nation. LONDON — Facebook parent Meta said Tuesday that it will sell off Giphy after running out of options to thwart a ruling by U.K.
- Despite this, modern technology is increasingly reliant on deep, domain-specific scientific knowledge.
- The scientific programs will include keynote lectures, plenary lectures and invited lectures in parallel sessions.
- October 14, 2022 • San Diego has an ambitious plan to store renewable energy, using extra solar power to pump water up a mountain.
Today and throughout history, technology influences and is influenced by such societal issues/factors as economics, values, ethics, institutions, groups, the environment, government, among others. The discipline studying the impacts of science, technology, and society and vice versa is called Science and technology in society. Complex manufacturing and construction techniques and organizations are needed to make and maintain more modern technologies, and entire industries have arisen to develop succeeding generations of increasingly more complex tools. Modern technology increasingly relies on training and education – their designers, builders, maintainers, and users often require sophisticated general and specific training.
Technologies have contributed to human welfare through increased prosperity, improved comfort and quality of life, and medical progress, but they can also disrupt existing social hierarchies, cause pollution, and harm individuals or groups. It did not take long to discover that wheeled wagons could be used to carry heavy loads. The ancient Sumerians used a potter’s wheel and may have invented it. A stone pottery wheel found in the city-state of Ur dates to around 3,429 BCE, and even older fragments of wheel-thrown pottery have been found in the same area.
Entire industries have arisen to support and develop succeeding generations of increasingly more complex tools. Technology is often a consequence of science and engineering — although technology as a human activity precedes the two fields. For example, science might study the flow of electrons in electrical conductors, by using already-existing tools and knowledge. This new-found knowledge may then be used by engineers to create new tools and machines, such as semiconductors, computers, and other forms of advanced technology. In this sense, scientists and engineers may both be considered technologists; the three fields are often considered as one for the purposes of research and reference. The branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.
International Relations
Initially, technology was seen as an extension of the human organism that replicated or amplified bodily and mental faculties. New analysis by the McKinsey Technology Council highlights the development, possible uses, and industry effects of advanced technologies. The IEEE EAB seeks qualified professionals from industry, government, and academia to serve as evaluators for accrediting engineering and engineering technology programs. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through highly-cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.
One thing that is visionary, has opportunities in industry and entrepreneurship. The community’s need for experts, practitioners to create food or drinks that can prevent disease/immune boosters is a definite prospect for career opportunities for graduate. LOS ANGELES — The founder and CEO of a software company targeted by election deniers was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stealing data on hundreds of Los Angeles County poll workers.
