Document Summary

Big technological advance in the us (b29 and grand coulee dam) B36 is even more important innovation than b29; has jet engines and propellers; wasn"t instrumental in any wars although b29 was instrumental in ww2. This was when technology was about making things big. Mitigation: reducing the amount of warming that"s going to occur: not going to be something that modern societies do very much of, human response to problems in response to climate change fall in the category of adaptation. Adaptation: find technological means to reduce negative effects of global warming. Denial movement has changed to adaptation to the current situation. Migration of humans out of unhabitable areas into habitable areas. Heats up so much so they had to put 2k miles of pipe to run cold water through to cool it. This dam was made to irrigate the west. Liberal (left wing) saw it as a great thing. Hydroelectric power is good w/o generating green house gases.

This is an intriguing technology that definitely has potential in terms of medical experiments. I think technology and human innovation go hand-in-hand, meaning that human innovation gets better as technology improves. For example, modern surgery saves lives everyday and is an example of human innovation that would not be as successful without technological development; the instruments (i.e. MRI Scans, Heartbeat monitors, etc) used during surgery are pieces of technology that have had immense impact on modern medical practices. I think things like organs on chips is a technology that can help human innovation by giving us better understandings of what affects certain cells and how they react. I do think that the line between technology and human innovation is shrinking because of how much they depend on the other.

Yes, I believe human innovation is becoming more and more dependent on technology. Human innovation is a factor that relies on technological development to grow; especially today. Technology builds on older technology so, the more advancements made in technology, the more human innovation can occur. I think human innovation has always been dependent on technological developments. I think a question in the future is if human innovation can keep up with the rapid development of technology.

Human innovation in a sense is technology already. Every single innovation made by human kind can be seen as an innovation. In my opinion there isn't really a line between technology and human innovation. Technology wouldnât exist without human innovation. Every single piece of technology is due to human innovation. Technology exist because humans want to make something more convenient or feel like that innovation would be useful in our society.

As humans continue to innovate, they tend to use more and more technology to do so. This is because this is the purpose of technology. Technology's purpose is to simply the life of human beings, making things more convenient for them. So, if humans want to continue innovating, eventually they will need to rely more and more technology because it will make innovating easier. Innovators can in a sense not depend on new technology, but this will make it hard to do simple task and continue research. Technology is the new and best thing someone can use, this is also true for innovating.

I do believe human innovation is gradually becoming depending on technology. However, I donât think this is a major issue. There might be some setbacks but overall the advancement of technology allows scientists to attack the problems and find solutions to them. Many years ago, a lot of the health problems didnât have treatment to them because there were no medicine and the treatment was based on home remedies. After technology, there was a huge improvement in the treatment of these diseases or health problems. Therefore, I donât think that it is totally wrong for human innovation to become depending on technology.

The TED talk was very interesting. The organ chip is a very innovative idea and I think itâs pretty cool how the concept was built. That being said, I donât believe that it is wrong to create something with technology if it aids in the treatment for others. However, there should be a fine line. There are concerns of ethics and morals in regards to that. No technology should be used to manipulate things for the sake of business or money if it results in the harm of others.
