This book gathers inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary
perspectives on the effects that today's advances in science and
technology have on issues ranging from government policy-making to
how we see the differences between men and women. The chapters
investigate how invention and innovation really take place, how
science differs from competing forms of knowledge, and how science
and technology could contribute more to the greater good of
humanity. For instance, should there be legal restrictions on
'immoral inventions'? A key theme that runs throughout the book
concerns who is taken into account at each stage and who is
affected. The amount of influence users have on technology
development and how non-users are factored in are evaluated as the
impact of scientific and technological progression on society is
investigated, including politics, economy, family life, and ethics.
