Recenzii
'Todd L. Pittinsky argues for a 'technology of a greater good' and outlines the dangers of technology dependence, while explaining how humanity is capable of avoiding such traps. The decision is still in our hands to ensure that technology serves the public good, instead of the dictates of an imagined consumer.' Ferenc Miszlivetz, Director of the Institute of Advanced Studies and Jean Monnet Professor, Hungarian Academy of Science
'Science, Technology, and Society: New Perspectives and Directions contains an absorbing collection of thought-provoking essays on a broad range of topics in science and technology studies. Written by leading scholars, this volume will be useful as a research reference and as an advanced survey of the field for sparking classroom discussions.' John N. Parker, Program Officer and Co-Director of the National Science Foundation's Science, Technology, and Society Program
'In Science, Technology, and Society, editor Pittinsky (Stony Brook Univ.) has brought together a highly complementary set of essays that explore how society shapes-and is shaped by-technological innovation. Contributed chapters address a diverse set of technologies including everything from genetic engineering to innovations by farmers in converting old cars into effective agricultural machinery. One especially interesting chapter focuses on the role of technology in reducing sex differences in society, for example by enabling remote work, which can either ease or heighten demands on women who are primary caregivers for young children, and by enabling online commentators to avoid indicating their sex and escape potential stereotyping by colleagues.'
