Philosophy of technology

Wednesday , 21, May 2008 Archive
  1. How fast do people get accustomed to technology and is it reversible?
  2. Is technology itself important for people or is it all about better, smaller, more, prettier?
  3. How dependent is society on technology and will this dependence increase?
  4. How vulnerable is society because of this dependence?
  5. Should we invest in more independence from technology or more robust technology, for example self-repairing devices?
  6. Does a technological evolution exist, next to the biological evolution?
  7. Will this technological evolution become independent from human interference?
  8. Will this technology evolution have a purpose? And if so will it be a selfish one, or will this technology primarily support humans?
  9. Will the dichotomy grow between people who have access to technology and those who have not?
  10. Will technology becomes cheaper and therefore become available for everyone?
  11. Will it therefore be possible to use technology to decrease the difference between rich and poor?
  12. Will nano-, bio- and mechanical technology blend together to form a multi-scale type of technology?
  13. Technological development is currently mostly driven by the market, making a profit. Will that change?
  14. Which technological development driver do you need when you want to take ethics into account?
