Investigating human social life in world history can provide a very detailed description of the ‘average world person’. The term, ‘average world person’ is quite abstract. For example, the average world person is the usual member of an ordinary human society shown in any given historical era. As shown in Alderson and Sanderon’s book (2005, p. 243), three examples throughout human society can illustrate a general idea of the average world person. The first example, 15,000 years ago, the average…

and laid her hand across her son’s sticky forehead. She scanned his body and his temperature registered at 103 degrees. She jerked the covers off of Maxx and watched chills scatter across his scorching skin. Siaren had protected her son from the nanotechnology, and now she second-guessed her decision. “You need a bath.” No, I hate those. I’m tired of baths.”…

Since most of the human body is made of water and by lowering the body below the freezing point of water will result in massive ice formation. Cryonic facilities can’t simply put patients into a vat of liquid nitrogen because their cells would freeze and simply shatter. Because of this reason, patients are protected from ice damage by using a mixture or agent (sort of a human antifreeze) to reduce, or even eliminate, ice formation. Conventional bypass technologies are used to circulate the…

The world population increases every day, and so does the need for energy. The only problem is that much of the energy society uses is non-renewable, meaning once a source is diminished it can no longer be used again. The solution is to use the most abundant energy source that burns bright in the sky every day, the sun. The energy given off by the sun can be harnessed to create electricity, and that electricity can be stored for later use. According to the website Altenergy, “The average star,…

technological rationality or perhaps something new will emerge. Although by analyzing how things have come to be, how they are, there can be a very rough modeling of the trajectory of society. Looking at the advancement in technology (biotechnology, nanotechnology) perhaps the very notion of what it means to be a human is changing into something different in being able to manipulate and combine technology with our biology. Now to assume a form of pessimism that Marcuse points out where there is…

The development and application of AI can change and affect person’s mode of thinking. For example, traditional knowledge usually appears in books and magazines as a constant. However, the database from AI is fixable, renewable, and extensible. Another example, once people begin to trust the decisions that made by artificial intelligence, they become lazy and no longer want to do a lot of thinking. The students who rely on the calculators too much are losing initiative thinking ability and…

The mathematical genius Alan Turing is famously known for proposing that if a machine behaves as intelligently as a human being, then it is as intelligent as a human being. This assertion was widely unsupported in the mid twentieth century when it was first declared by Turing. At this point in time intelligent machines and computer science were new inventions, recognised by very few individuals, and understood by fewer. Since the invention of computer processors, their speeds have been…

According to the latest World Tourism Organization’s (UNWTO, 2016) records, about 1.2 billion tourists have crossed international borders in 2015, an increase of 4.4%. For 2030, numbers are forecasted to reach 1.8 billion (see Figure 1). With the globalized and more accessible world, every sector of the tourism industry, including the hospitality sector, faces various challenges. Guests with diverse cultural and social backgrounds (Bharwani & Butt, 2012; Kapiki, 2012) and a high level of travel…

More people compared to any other time in US history are able to survive and live their lives after cancer treatment. Cancer has been a rampant problem in the United States and the rest of the world, but recent statistics have been shown that the number of individuals affected is dropping and treatment of cancer is improving. The improvement of healthcare and cancer treatment has improved the fight against cancer and its survivability. But before talking about medical advances in treatment to…
