Question

True or False?The James Moore article, " Why we need better ethics for emerging technologies," we can understand revolution through the following stages: introduction, permeation, and power stage. Standardization occurs in the "permeation" stage.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Technological revolution is classified into 3 stages: The introduction stage, the permeation stage and finally the power stage.

The point is new technological products are emerging virtually everyday, which now begs the question, given the existential emergence in our technology, how exactly will our technological future be with this powerful emergence in technology, will this emergence in technology improve the quality of our lives as it emerges? The outcome of this development in technology is evitable since we could choose which technologies should we develop and how they should be put into good use. The inevitable wide range emergence in technology now brought in mind some sense of ethics (which kind of technology should we develop and which ones should we keep and how to utilize them). But the fact remains we are living in a golden age of technology that promises a unique experience that might affect ethics.

The term "Technological Revolution" is used to describe new and improved Technological devices. Technological revolution doesn't just develop within a short period of time, it takes time to grow. To understand a technological revolution you'll have to understand this 3 stages:

1. The Introduction Stage: At this stage only few people know about technology, while some are captivated by it's wonders, some are fascinated by its capabilities. Gradually it becomes more efficient and people tend to recognize its effectiveness.

2. Permeation stage: in this stage the technological devices are being standardized, in terms of operation and design, attracting a wide range users. People are willing to learn how to operate it. People now feel the need to possess it.

3. The Power Stage: in this stage the technology has become powerful with full effect and made available for purchase, the whole society is affected by it either directly or indirectly. Many people now have a perfect knowledge on how to use it and to put it into good use. The impact technology has on the society is what resulted to its revolutionary breakthrough.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

James H. Moor, a researcher in the department of philosophy, Dartmouth College, Hanover, USA wrote an article titled " Why we need better ethics for emerging technologies," in the year 2006. he dissected technological revolution into three stages: The introduction stage, permeation stage, and power stage.

The introduction stage is the stage of intellectual curiosity, rather than the creation of tangible products

The permeation stage is the stage where the technological devices are standardized. The devices are more conventional in design and operation, and the number of users grow.

The power stage is the stage where the technology is firmly established.
