Science, Technology and Society in the Future


IGE 320
D. Quinn

Pick a card and think about the date. Consider


generally how science and technology will be
integrated within the future society. On a sheet of
paper with your names and the date you picked
record your groups thoughts about the following:

1. Imagine a few developments in at least two


specific sciences (or maybe a new science), such
as key questions and/or discoveries that will
engage the minds and activities of scientists.
Consider how these sciences address key needs
of specific groups within society.
2. Imagine a few developments in at least two
specific technologies (or maybe a new
technology), such as important breakthroughs
and/or inventions that will engage the minds
and activities of specialists and/or the masses.
Consider how these technologies address key
needs of specific groups within society.
3. Present your future to the class in some creative,
dramatic way.
4. Discuss the reasons behind your choices and
consider from what contemporary context your
future arises. In other words, how does it connect
to you today?
