Techno-Fixers
Author: Sean F. JohnstonPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228002052
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This is the story of a seductive idea. Over the past century, the potential of new technology to solve social dilemmas has captivated modern culture. From apps that encourage physical activity to airport scanners meant to prevent terrorism, the concept that clever innovation can improve society is irresistible, but faith in such technological fixes is seldom questioned. Where did this idea come from, what makes it so appealing, and how does it endanger our future? Techno-Fixers traces the source of modern confidence in technology to engineering hubris, radical utopian movements, science fiction fanzines, policy-makers' soundbites, corporate marketing, and optimistic consumer culture from the turn of the twentieth century until today. Sean Johnston demonstrates that, through the promotion of prominent government scientists, technocrats, entrepreneurs, and popular media, modern invention became the favourite tool for addressing human problems and society's ills. Nonetheless, when it comes to assessing the success of cigarette filters as the solution to safe smoking, or DDT as the answer for agricultural productivity, the evidence is sobering. Cautioning that the rhetoric of technological fixes seldom matches reality, Johnston examines how employing innovation to bypass traditional methods can foster as many problems as it solves. A critical examination of modern faith in technology, Techno-Fixers evaluates past mistakes, present implications, and future opportunities for innovating societies.

Pages : 252
Book Description
Edmond Dantex Vongehr’s new book calls patriotic Americans to action. Protesters United shares a vision of taking the nation back from the corrupted elite. The gap between the rich and poor continues to widen, the elite continue to wield disproportionate power over the common man. For author Edmond Dantes Vongehr, along with countless other Americans, the situation has become intolerable, and something must be done to address the rampant inequality. In Protestors United, Vongehr reveals alternative solutions that may save the nation yet. Vongehr presents seventy-two letters from people regarding the present condition of the United States of America. The letters date back three years. The book will reveal the alternative solutions both political and economic, for a better world as predicted by Edward Bellamy’s dream in Looking Backward. The nation has been left in a state of neglect for far too long. Those in charge have abused the powers entrusted to them. To Vongehr, the time has come for the people to speak and have their voices heard. When people are no longer divided, when Protesters United across the nation take a stand, a wave of change will come and usher forth a new morning for the United States. That is the true American dream envisioned by Vongehr, the vision he shares to readers everywhere.

Technocracy at Work
Author: Beverly H. BurrisPublisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791414965
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Technocracy, loosely defined, is rule by experts. Technocracy at Work focuses on the organizational dimensions and aspects of technocracy. Substantial sociological literatures have analyzed contemporary changes in factories, bureaucracies, and professional organizations. What has not been well investigated is the interrelatedness of these changes and the emergence of technocracy in the workplace. This book fills this gap and analyzes the social and political implications of technocracy, in both particular work organizations as well as the world-wide technocratic system, so as to inform future democratic debate.
