The primary focus of the team is to research and assess the issues associated with a specific emerging technology. The team will produce a formal research paper in APA format, with each team member contributing 10 pages of text. The paper will provide the basis for a 20-minute team presentation.
The following Required Elementsmust be researched and included in the final project. What follows is a list only, and is in no way an outline:
• A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the associated science
• The historical development and context of the technology
• Political and legal influences
• Economic questions and considerations
• Psychological considerations and sociological effects
• The technology in its cultural context, media influence
• Implications for the environment
• Moral and ethical implications
To properly analyze the various elements of the project, research will cut across disciplines and include academic, scientific and industry sources.
