Technology, Complexity & Change: Creative Frictions of the Present
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like163 views
Jerry Sheehan discusses the increasing pace of technological change and its effects. He notes that technology allows more complex systems to be created and for changes to have global impacts. However, it is unclear if systems are in place to deal with rapid, widespread technological change. Sheehan uses examples like cyberwarfare, artificial intelligence, and distracted learning to illustrate how technology is accelerating change in unpredictable ways.

CyberWar Definitions
• Cyber Warfare: Cyber warfare involves the actions by a nation-state or international
organization to attack and attempt to damage another nation's computers or
information networks through, for example, computer viruses or denial-of-service
attacks.
• [Source: Rand Corporation]
• Plausible Deniability-”n. Polit. (the possibility of) denying a fact (esp. a discreditable
action) without arousing suspicion; the method of achieving this.
• [Source: Oxford English Dictionary]
• Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Attack-”A Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it
with traffic from multiple sources.”
• [Source: Arbor Networks]
• BotNet-”A botnet is an interconnected network of computers infected with malware
without the user's knowledge and controlled by cybercriminals.”

Program for Learning and Community Engagement: Science and Technology G-Forces and Speed • G-Forces, where G stands for gravitational is a measurement of acceleration that causes a perception of change of weight. • You have likely often heard the term before: • 0G-no perception of weight as in space. • 3G space shuttle during launch and reentry. • Humans can only take so much acceleration before our systems fail.

- #14: Tallinn, Estonia’s coastal capital. The Soviets called it Monument to the Liberators of Tallinn With the specter of the Red Army looming, the Nazis withdrew from that city without fighting. It was the Estonians who re-established an independent country on Sept. 18, 1944. By Sept. 22, the Soviets took hold of the city again. In that way, the Russians “liberated” Talinn from the Estonians themselves In 2007, the Estonian government was getting ready to finally move the Bronze Soldier. In response, ethnic Russians in the country rioted in the worst unrest Estonia had seen since the brief but bloody war of independence that commenced when the Soviets occupied the country in 1944.
