  • LAS 432 Week 5 DQ 1 The Politics of Technology
  • Superior expertise about how technologies work
    does not guarantee superior judgment about how
    they should be used, regulated, or governed. As
    technology becomes more sophisticated, how can
    citizens and political leaders judge and
    understand whether a given technology offers
    great perils or great promises? When great
    technological projects, such as venturing farther
    into the galaxy or developing

  • new life-extending medicines, are proposed, how
    should government officials make decisions about
    how tax dollars should be spent?
  • Think of   birth control pills, an Olympic runner
    in a race with artificial legs,   video
    technology that can now pry into our private
    lives on the street. Electric and electronic
    technologies that drain our power grid.  Cars
    crowding streets and poisoning the air and
    changing the international dynamic due to the
    importance of oil.  Life extension medical
    technologies that have the  effect of rising our
    medical costs as more seriously ill people more
    old people are living longer often with a low
    quality of life.  There was little government
    involvement in technology issues and developments
    in the past but now we  are beset by a host of
    questions produced by more and more technological
    innovation.
  • Environmental issues are rising to the forefront
    and suggested remedies for the prevention of
     ruining our environment have price tags in the
    billions and trillions.   How should governments
     deal with these issues.  The Chinese government
    enforces a "one-child" policy.  It is difficult
    to imagine the US government trying such a policy
    here.  But how can these decisions be made or
    shall we just let technology happen and then try
    to deal with the consequences on a personal
    level?
