"Society and Technology: Our Emerging Future"
Deadline: April 15 2012
Descripion: In his keynote address at ISARC 2006, Thomas Bock stated that ―most of our life, be it agriculture, commerce, education, health care, warfare and industry, depends on relations between humans, society and mechanisms. This is even more true in 2012. A central intellectual challenge of our time is understanding the interactions between technology and society. Every academic discipline can contribute insights, but it is also crucial to look across disciplinary boundaries. Both society and technologies are changing rapidly, and their interactions are complex and sometimes subtle. We invite scholars from all disciplines and from all over the world to join us in exploring the emerging issues at the intersection of technology and society.
