Question:Hello 

I need help for my assignment for Technology in Society.

I would like to answers the questions select the letter of the correct answer.

1. What is the purpose of a technology assessment?

2. Which of the three types of research is most likely to utilize findings of pervious research and is directed toward the full-scale production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods?

3. Describe “data mining”.

4. Define “biometrics”.

5. Define “heuristics”.

6. List four examples of engineering ethics.

7. Define “risk assessment”.

8. Identify the three phases of cause & effect relationships that the book explains.

9. What is the problem with using an animal to determine the toxicity of a chemical to humans?

10. Define what a future wheel projection technique is.

11. Define what a content analysis is used for.

12. What type of study uses a group of experts and an intermediary to make long-range forecasts of technological and societal developments? 

Answers – select the letter of the correct answer and include it and the question number in the assignment you submit 

A. a) Laboratory animals are commonly exposed to high concentrations of chemicals to ensure that if there are any toxic effects, they will be evident at statistically significant levels.

b) The initial use of high doses of toxic substances may interrupt the recipient’s internal metabolic reactions toward the initiation of carcinogenesis.

c) Animals and humans metabolize substances differently.

B. It is a small-group brainstorming session in which the participants examine the consequences of aparticular social trend or a technological event.

C. Delphi study.

D. Integrity, Honesty, Candor, Civic-mindedness.

E. To make projections about the future state specific technologies, so we can assess and plan for their impacts on society.

F. (1) Risk assessors must be able to determine how potential threats are released into and move through the ever-changing environment.

(2) They must figure out how much of the substance people might eat, breathe, or swallow and then estimate how much of it they could ultimately absorb.

(3) Phase three entails a determination of how much of a hazard the absorbed substance poses (whether it will cause symptoms such as acute nausea or chronic loss of hearing).”

G. A method of studying the risk of a new technology, material, or device so they may be better avoided, reduced, or otherwise managed.

H. Reviewers keep track of events as they occur, to make an accurate projection of major trends one to two years down the road.

I. Development.

J. It involves technologies allowing us to be identified by specific biological traits. It’s used for face recognition, iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, and dynamic signature recognition.

K. Also called knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), is based on elaborate pattern recognition algorithms. Exciting applications are projected in many fields, including automobile maintenance, astronomy, geology, medicine, quality assurance, and military intelligence.

L. Rules of thumb based on a compilation of personal experiences over time. They are used to help guide problem solving exercises. In the field of artificial intelligence, they are built into computer programs to enable machines to make educated guesses. Unlike algorithms (mathematical computation), they do not guarantee a solution.
