science: the description & explanation of phenomena of the natural world > predictions of future developments
technology: the application of scientific (e.g. applied science) knowledge for practical purposes

conflict
Sience is neutral.
Technology can be harmful or beneficial.
So sometimes they have different interests.

comprehensive question
Think of an example where the intersts of science and technology are contrary, e.g. nuclear power or weapons!]]> 2021-03-10 08:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dieKaiserin/ScienceAndUtopia2e3/wish/1291844092 dieKaiserin https://padlet.com/dieKaiserin/ScienceAndUtopia2e3/wish/1291845215 definition: avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance

 Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.

-->balance between the environment, the economy and society
—>why is sustainability important?
We need clean air, natural resources and a nontoxic environment. If our generation doesn’t care about sustaining those things, the following generations will suffer from the consequences
-->what we can do to remain sustainable:
-reduce consumerism-->also reduces trash and pollution
-renewable energies
-recycling of materials
-eat more plant-based
-->environmental advantages
-question: what can you do to support the sustainability of the planet?
A: leave the trash in the environment
B: go to McDonald's twice a week 
C: reduce the amount of what we consume, eat vegetables instead of meat, use renewable energies

first used on bacteria in 1973

cloning:
- Therapeutic cloning:
stem cells are used to  create tissues or whole organs that can be used for transplants
- Reproductive cloning:
embryos are cloned and transplanted into a uterus (only used on animals, e.g. Dolly the sheep)

pros and cons:
- very valuable to health care
- genetically modified food has lots of advantages (but there are also health and environment concerns)
- ethical concerns (it is forbidden to clone humans, embryos used to gain stem cells are destroyed)
- creation of dangerous animals]]> 2021-03-10 08:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dieKaiserin/ScienceAndUtopia2e3/wish/1291845618 dieKaiserin https://padlet.com/dieKaiserin/ScienceAndUtopia2e3/wish/1291847726 What is AI?...

definition:
There is no real definition for AI, since you can’t really define Intelligence itself.

Products with AI:
- machines that are artificially encorporated with humanlike Intelligence
- examples:
# smartphones
# cars
# video games
# surveillance
# etc.

Kinds of AI:
- weak AI
focus is only on one task

- strong AI
can apply intelligence to any given problem

The future of AI:
-Body enhancements 
- Robots as intelligent as   humans
- etc
