Their Own Devices [Book Reviews] IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-12-09 A. David Wunsch
The book focuses on the group of Americans who live a life of digital hyper-connectivity. Mostly under age 50, this would include what are called Generation X (born between 1965 and 1979), Millennials (born between 1980 and 1999), and their offspring — some, as we have seen, still infants. A leitmotif of the book is that these “digital natives,” as she calls them have been untethered from the American

Ways of Hearing [Book Reviews] IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-12-09 John M. Picker
The book presents an account of how aspects of sound we might not value or even notice have gone missing in the shift from analog recordings and receivers to mp3s, cell phones, streaming services, and, yes, even podcasts. On its surface, this seems in keeping with the emergence of nostalgic trends in musical listening: the hipster resurrection, say, of LPs as sonically rich, visually cool artifacts

Thinking about Racism in Engineering Education in New Ways [Commentary] IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-12-09 Joel Alejandro Mejia; Renata A. Revelo; Alice L. Pawley
In this paper, we seek to explore the impact of engineering’s persisting predominant whiteness in the United States. Its persisting maleness is also relevant, and we will address this a little more below, but what we want to do here is share a framework that has helped our thinking in this space, and we hope it can inform yours.

Over the last half century, the proportion of humans living in cities has dramatically risen from around a third to just over half. As cities continue to rise in popularity, demand for basic services such as transportation increases. The automobile has been the dominant method of inner city transportation for many cities across the globe, resulting in increased congestion and air pollution. As the

"We Live on Hope...": Ethical Considerations of Humanitarian Use of Drones in Post-Disaster Nepal IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-09-17 Ning Wang
As international humanitarian assistance from governments and private donors continued to increase in recent years, the pace of growth, however, has slowed down [1]. For instance, in 2018, while US$17.0 billion out of US$28.1 billion funding was committed to UN-coordinated appeals, there was still a funding shortfall of US$11.1 billion, with only 61% of requirements met [1].

Regulating Big Data in Agriculture IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-09-17 Brianna B. Posadas; Juan E. Gilbert
In the year 2050, it is expected that the global human population will outgrow the current food supply. It is a year of concern for those in the agricultural sciences, and many projects and initiatives are designed around solving this problem [1], [3], [5], [6]. From genetically modified foods, stronger antibiotics and fungicides, to upgraded crop models, everyone in this area is hard at work finding

Between Engineering and Science IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-09-17 Javier Aracil
When I was an engineering student, during the 1960s, a common joke was that if a space rocket reached its goal, it was called a success of science; but if it did not succeed, then it was a failure of engineering. This witticism is a sample of the latent dispute between science and engineering. Science has played a fundamental role in the development of modern engineering by showing how the natural

Ableism (discrimination in favor of nondisabled people and against disabled people1) impacts technological imagination. Like sexism, racism, and other types of bigotry, ableism works in insidious ways: by shaping our expectations, it shapes how and what we design (given these expectations), and therefore the infrastructure all around us. And ableism shapes more than just the physical environment. It

Robot Enhanced Therapy for Autistic Children: An Ethical Analysis IEEE Technol. Soc. Mag. (IF 1.256) Pub Date : 2020-03-13 Neil McBride
The use of social robots has been proposed for the delivery of therapy to autistic children. The aim of such projects, of which the DREAM project is an example, is to replace therapists by robots, operating in sensory environments that enable them to detect and respond to feedback from the child. This article considers the ethical concerns of autonomy, community, transparency, identity, value, and
