Climate Change
Many agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the
earth. Climate Change is the defining issue of our time, and we are at a defining
moment. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea
levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are
global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to
these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly.
The changing climate is an existential problem for humanity, but it can bring
about the necessary change. With social and political change, modern technologies and
management methods, and proper care, we can create an economy based on
renewable resources and immaterialist patterns of behavior that will support us all
without destroying the earth. Everyone can make a difference, particularly when smart
environmental choices become a habit and even begin influencing others into taking
similar actions. Doing the right thing for the future of life on Earth can even have
immediate personal benefits. It can tap into your creativity, can get you more engaged
with your community and the world, and may contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Innovation has already been instrumental in bringing us clean and cheap energy
solutions like wind, solar and nuclear power. To take advantage of these existing
sources of clean energy, we need to scale up their deployment and continue to increase
their efficiency.
The climate crisis will not be solved by technology alone. Meeting ambitious
climate targets will require a massive effort from governments, businesses, and
individuals
Covid 19
The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges ever
faced by the entire world. This pandemic has caught a lot of people, governments, and
health agencies by surprise. Health authorities throughout the world have been aware
for some time that contagious viruses could strike anytime and had prepared
contingency measures. The development of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines is a
crucial step in helping us get back to doing more of the things we enjoy with the people
we love. Scientists were able to develop safe effective vaccines in a short amount of
time due to a combination of factors that allowed them to scale up research and
production without compromising safety. Because of the global pandemic, there was a
larger sample size to study and tens of thousands of volunteers stepped forward.
Advancements in technology that were years in the making, manufacturing of the
vaccines occurred in parallel to the clinical trials to speed up production. Various
technology innovations and applications have been developed to fight the coronavirus
pandemic. The pandemic has not only raised opportunities to advance technology-
based solutions but also provided a rare opportunity to study the research and practice
of technology, including information management, work practices, and design and use
of technology.
