Understanding Technology and Society

Understanding Technology and Society

Todd L. Pittinsky

Cambridge University Press
2025
sidottu
From the early days of navigating the world with bare hands to harnessing tools that transformed stones and sticks, human ingenuity has birthed science and technology. As societies expanded, the complexity of our tools grew, raising a crucial question: Do we control them, or do they dictate our fate? The trajectory of science and technology isn't predetermined; debates and choices shape it. It's our responsibility to navigate wisely, ensuring technology betters, not worsens, our world. This book explores the complex nature of this relationship, with 18 chapters posing and discussing a compelling 'big question.' Topics discussed include technology's influence on child development; big data; algorithms; democracy; happiness; the interplay of sex, gender, and science in its development; international development efforts; robot consciousness; and the future of human labor in an automated world. Think critically. Take a stand. With societal acceleration mirroring technological pace, the challenge is, can we keep up?

Murder & Mayhem in the Napa Valley

Murder & Mayhem in the Napa Valley

Todd L. Shulman

History Press Library Editions
2012
sidottu
The picturesque vineyards of California's Napa Valley, one of the world's premier tourist destinations, disguise a tangled history of lawlessness, depravity and frontier justice. Some crimes were committed over debts, some for retribution and others in the name of love. Famed photographer Eadweard Muybridge killed a man for seducing his wife but was acquitted. Other criminals were not so lucky and met the gallows, like murderer William Roe, the state's final public execution. From the Pomo massacre--the first criminal case heard by the California Supreme Court--to the cold cases that continue to haunt the region, Napa Police Detective Todd Shulman decants the crimes of the Napa Valley, memorializing the victims and honoring the efforts of local law enforcement.

Idea Makers and Idea Brokers in High-Technology Entrepreneurship

Idea Makers and Idea Brokers in High-Technology Entrepreneurship

Todd L. Juneau

Praeger Publishers Inc
2003
sidottu
Among the most vexing challenges for entrepreneurs is how to avail themselves of the necessary services—intellectual venture capital—without burning through their seed money at a rate that makes further borrowing prohibitively expensive. Traditionally, professional firms have charged entrepreneurs a fee for their services, based on billable hours and effort. Yet in the past decade, an alternative model has emerged that obviates the entrepreneurs' conundrum while still satisfying the needs of the service provider.The alternative is an equity-for-services arrangement, whereby professionals are rewarded for their work with a stake in the new venture, to be redeemed at a later date at an initial public offering (IPO), for example, or when a trust fund matures. Both parties can benefit under such an arrangement. The entrepreneur benefits by being able to afford patent attorneys, public relations consultants, recruiting firms, and all the other knowledge providers crucial to the success of a new venture, and the intellectual venture capitalists have an incentive to work toward the long-term success of the startup. This book outlines the potential risks and rewards of equity compensation, enabling both service providers and entrepreneurs to make informed decisions.

Small business startups in the United States account for about 20% of the workforce, and 50% represent established small businesses (Criscuolo, Gal, & Menon, 2014). Small businesses have a vital role in (a) increasing financial security, (b) driving innovation, (c) boosting employment opportunities, and (d) the United States' economic development and growth (Arasti, Zandi, & Bahmani, 2014; Decker, Haltiwanger, Jarmin, & Miranda, 2014; U.S. Small Business Administration SBA], 2014a, 2014b). During the 2007-2009 economic crisis that resulted in significant job losses, the U.S. president sought assistance from small business owners (SBA, 2014a, 2014b). Owners of small life insurance brokerage firms contribute appreciably to the U.S. economy through their investment in jobs creation (Leary, Kane, & Woods, 2014)

Arcadia Publishing (SC)
2007

The story of organized law enforcement in Napa County begins with the very first meeting of the board of supervisors in 1850 and the appointment of a county sheriff and marshals for each township. The foundations for progress and prosperity in place, Napa County grew from a remote agricultural outpost to the preeminent wine-growing region in the United States and a booming tourist destination--and policing has kept pace. Today, in addition to the Napa Sheriff's Department, the county is protected by the California Highway Patrol and three police departments: Napa, St. Helena, and Calistoga. Specialized police agencies have also grown out of unique needs, including the Napa State Hospital Police, Railroad Police, and Community College Police.

Science and Medicine in the Old South

Science and Medicine in the Old South

Ronald Numbers; Todd L. Savitt

Louisiana State University Press
1999
nidottu
With a few notable exceptions, historians have tended to ignore the role that science and medicine played in the antebellum South. The fourteen essays in Science and Medicine in the Old South help to redress that neglect by considering scientific and medical developments in the early nineteenth-century South and by showing the ways in which the South's scientific and medical activities differed from those of other regions. The book is divided into two sections. The essays in the first section examine the broad background of science in the South between 1830 and 1860; the second section addresses medicine specifically.The essays frequently counterpoint each other. In the first section, Ronald Numbers and Janet Numbers argue that he South's failure to ""keep pace"" with the North in scientific areas resulted from demographic factors. William Scarborough asserts that slavery produced a social structure that encouraged agricultural and political careers rather than scientific and industrial ones. Charles Dew offers a strong indictment of slavery, suggesting that the conservative influence of the institution severely discouraged the adoption of modern technologies. Other essays examine institutions of higher learning in the South, southern scientific societies, and the relationship between science and theology.The section on medicine in the Old South also examines the ways in which the medical needs and practices of the Old South were both similar to and distinct from those of other regions. K. David Patterson argues that slavery in effect imported African diseases into the Southeast and created a ""modified West African disease environment."" James H. Cassedy points out that land-management policies determined by slavery- land clearing, soil exhaustion- also helped created a distinctive disease environment. Other contributors discuss southern public health problems, domestic medicine, slave folk beliefs, and the special medical needs of blacks.Science and Medicine in the Old South is a long-overdue examination of these segments of the southern cultural milieu. These essays will do much to clarify misconceptions about the time and the region; moreover, they suggest directions for future research.
