Philosophy of technology

Teacher’s philosophy of technology use in education depends on many factors. It is influenced by educator’s age; by positive and negative experiences in prior technology use; by fear of unknown information; or it could be even dictated by the school. It differentiates from one generation of teachers to the next. At age of 36 I have managed to develop fear of failing to keep up with the speed of the technology progress, but in the same time I try to remain open to the idea of being educated in technology field and of using this knowledge in the classroom. The demand to supplement traditional teaching style with technology can be explained by shift to student centered education (G.B.Brooks and M.B.Brooks, 1999). It is obvious that successful…

Logistics: the Capital’s Art of War Technologies of all kinds, as artifacts and systems themselves, are often described as neutral entities, incapable of exerting any significant effects unless they have been graced with the human touch. Social influences are certainly strong factors to political leniencies of technology; however, to say that technology is indefinitely neutral is an uncritical and unrealistic claim. As Langdon Winner identifies in his writing, “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”,…

Weekly Reflection #9: Today, Michael Fenton talked about Desmos and what we should think about when we incorporate technology in the classroom.

Before Michael Fenton speech, I had hear about something people say, that someday we will live in a world where almost everything will be done through technology and where there will be not a lot of human interaction. Nevertheless, I did not think…

My Vision For America I feel America would be a better place if more money was granted for the development of better technology for the greater good, in all, a more advanced technology would allow for cheaper and more healthier foods, homes and other services. Better technology will open up hardly what seems a finite choice of new opportunities for safety, prosperity and the general wellfare of the environment. New technology can bring on, not just physical changes, but also of that of the…

Intro/Thesis Have cellphones and all the latest technology negatively impacted society more than it has positively? Everyday you’ll walk by someone and they’ll be on their phone; whether it be checking their Facebook or on a call, people will always be on their phones or handheld device. In American society, we are prone to relying on technology because of how easy it makes an individual person’s life and how easy it is to obtain. Technology has also separated families more than bringing…

Computer animation has always faced the challenge of recreating reality. The hypothesis of the uncanny valley is the hypothesis that the more human-like something is the more its subtle imperfections make people feel uneasy (Willie Bouwer et al. 186). Humans know what humans are supposed to be like and when the recreation does not meet their expectation the person rejects it and may even be revolted by it. The driving force behind Pixar is not creating realistic worlds but exploring new worlds…

Over time, we as a society have developed immensely in terms of scientific and technological advancements. From cars to computers, these are all technologies that have allowed us as a species to work more efficiently. There are specific technologies, though, that have been categorized under two things: therapeutic or “enhancing”.There is great controversy as to where certain technologies fall under, seeing as the lines between the two categories often blur together. A therapeutic technology is…
