Emerging technology is not the answer to the world's social and economic problems Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I am very interested in the impact of emerging technology on our civilization, especially those that can enhance the quality of life on this planet -- so, even though I'm a futurist, I'm also very skeptical of other futurists. I think a lot of times when people talk about these emerging technologies, it's just a lot of hyping, someone trying to get a lot of grant money, or somebody just trying to attract some attention talking about something that really isn't practical. You see this with nanotechnology all the time. "Nanotech, nanotech." It's nanotech all the time. Why?

The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts

When she spoke at the emerging technology Conference in San Diego early in 2006, she (like the other speakers) was competing with the audience's use of e-mail, Web surfing, and text messaging. It was an eerie reflection of much of our society. Increasingly, people devote just a little attention to each of their multitasking activities, not giving full attention to any of them. I'll describe several examples of this odd behavior. One is the person who is either engaged in a face-to-face conversation or is sitting or walking by himself.

How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace Paul D. Blanc, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

In emphasizing that in "yellow brass in particular, the evolution of oxide of zinc is very great," Thackrah is implicating the emerging technology of making btass from metallic zinc added to copper. Metal fume fever had never been reported before, not because it had gone unobserved, but because exposure to concentrated zinc oxide was previously uncommon or altogether unknown. Thackrah's initial 1832 report of the new illness of brass ague, however, appears to have gone unnoticed.

The agreement is aimed at protecting children from "interactive television"—an emerging technology that promises, among other things, to give children the ability to order a pizza while watching TV. As Susan Linn notes: "TV commercials are so twentieth century. Marketers want to insinuate their brands into the hearts and minds of children."5 Moreover, young children have not developed the cognitive ability to even realize they are being marketed to.

In 1997, during the period when USDA Secretary Dan Glickman was attempting to convince the Senate agriculture committee that his department should be allowed to issue mandatory recalls of contaminated meat, the senators "reacted skeptically, saying the plan would impose unnecessary new regulations when the focus should be on emerging technology like irradiation."21 Other groups also advocated approval of irradiation, charging that opposition to it was antiscientific.

Virtual Colonoscopy An emerging technology referred to as virtual colonoscopy uses computer-generated images of the colon constructed from data obtained during an abdominal computed tomographic examination (CT scan). A CT scan is a specialized x-ray technique that produces many layers of detailed pictures. Sometimes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is substituted for CT. In an MRI, the patient passes through a tunnel surrounded by a powerful magnet. A computer tracks the magnetism and produces a picture of the tissues being studied.

Google library project named as one of ten most important emerging technologies for humanity by futurist Mike Adams Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

REPPED: The Google library project -- an ambitious effort to digitize hundreds of thousands of texts from prestigious libraries -- has been named the single most important emerging technology for humanity by futurist Mike Adams in his free downloadable ebook, "The Ten Most Important Emerging Technologies For Humanity." In the downloadable book, available at TruthPublishing.com, Adams cites the Global Electronic Library as the #1 technology needed to uplift humanity due to its ability to enhance the accessibility of knowledge.

101 Things You Don't Know About Science And No One Else Does Either James Trefil See book keywords and concepts

Certainly, after going through all of the breathless prose about artificial intelligence, for one, we should be a little skeptical of extravagant claims for the emerging technology of virtual reality. The idea behind it is simple and comes from a basic principle of information theory. We know about the world through sense impressions, and every sense impression can, in principle, be broken down into an electronic signal sending units called bits (a contraction of "binary digit"). A bit is the answer to one simple question ?on or off? up or down? 0 or 1? Take your TV set as an example.

Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola : Nature, Accident or Intentional? Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H. See book keywords and concepts

I questioned, recognizing the "emerging technology" at the time was cancer-causing immunosuppressive vimses. Colby might have mentioned the $10 million DOD appropriation in 1970 for five additional years of mutant vims research. He could have, at least, shared his opinion regarding Exhibit 12 as it discussed the delivery of a vims into a study population as early as 1967, or regarding the outcome of contingency storage plans for the deadly vimses on Karamessines's inventory list. Instead, he left it up to the committee to gather the hidden intelligence.
