This week marks the last week of our Technology and World Change module. This week's focus is mainly on presentations and some housekeeping matters before the course ends. There are 4 presentations this week. The presentation topics are technology and identity, drugs, visual technology on holograms and consumer devices from group 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively.
One particular interesting observation that I have throughout this session was on group 6 presentation on drugs and how some drugs such as marijuana. I agree to the arguments brought by this group and legalise marijuana. The benefits of legalising marijuana would actually outweigh the costs of it. Another interesting observation that I had was actually on consumer device and I am amazed by the great changes that we had from the past to today.
This week's lesson do not have much key takeaways as this week is on the presentations from our peers. There aren't any teaching involved other than the introduction of interesting ideas by our peers. I hope after this lesson, I will explore more insights to technology and most importantly apply the necessary tools I have gained through this course.
I would rate this week lesson as 8.5/10 and hope that i can apply the knowledge taught by Dr Gurinder. I would end this post with a quote which i think is meaningful.
We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

Lesson 11: Presentation week!
This week is the time when we applied what we have learnt for the past 11 weeks and it's time to put those knowledge into the presentations. My group presented this week and out topic is on Biological Warfare. Do give us your support and comments with regards to our webpage. As usual, Dr Gurinder explained to us some concepts in the beginning of the lesson before we start the series of presentations.
The quote that i have found it useful is actually the quote by Oscar Wilde
You know more than you think you know just as you know less than you want to know.
There are 4 presentations this week. Group 1's presentation is on sports technology, followed by my group, group 3 chose Animation as their topic and lastly group 4 focuses on Technovention. I feel that the most interesting presentation that i had witness among the 3 groups is the one on Animation. Animation has started since our childhood days and seeing the behind the scene preparation and how it have evolved is something that has intrigued me. The most interesting idea that I have seen was the video shared by them during their presentation. It was on how a device could be use to create a invisible "screen" and after a spotlight is shined on it, we can view the the animation on that very space that you have created.
Well, I would say the key takeaway for this week is about my presentation topic, Biological Warfare. It has been proven that Biological Warfare is a threat to our society today and it will be detrimental if the biological agents have fallen into the wrong hands. Hence, there is a need to change focus on the development of such weapons. In addition, the strain that it has put on the economy is very high and more resources has to be used in order to recover the economy. I hope through our presentation, we can spread the message across people about the threats of such weapons and discourage the use of it.
I would rate this week's lesson 9/10. The topics that all the groups presented are interesting and engaging. I am looking forward to next week's lesson on the left over 4 groups' presentation. I will end this week's post with a this quote which i find it pretty meaningful.
We never know what will be thrown at us, but it’s up to each of us as to how we deal with whatever does come.

Session 10: Technology assessment and forecasting.
This week's lesson focuses on technology assessment and forecasting. I would share 2 interesting quotes shared during Professor Gurinder lesson
My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there - Charles Kettering
Tomorrow belongs to the people who prepares for it today - African Proverb.
This actually shows the importance of having a good foresight and we have to foresee what future holds because we need to get ourselves ready for it.
One interesting observation that i have observed for this week is the commonly used foresight methods known as SWOT ( Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) This is a useful model to analyse the technology as well as foreseeing potential problems and this model includes all aspects of assessment. It won't be useful if the technology is useful but poses a threat to the community. Another interesting observation is the 9 steps to end poverty that was presented by one of our peers. The 9 steps involves harnessing global science, promote sustainable development, adopt a plan of action, commit to the task, raise the voice of the poor, strengthen the IN, rescue the IMF and world bank, redeem the US role in the world and lastly make a personal commitment. These steps in the model seems comprehensive. However, tackling certain issues such as redeem the US role in the world and strengthening the U.N might be tough. This was the topic that i wished that we could spent more time on if time permits. The reason is because poverty is a issue that is plaguing certain countries and with so much surpluses of food in the world each day, we are still facing this problem. Thus, it is important that we look into this issue carefully and work towards the solutions.
One of the key takeaways that I have was about the ability to work back from the future and not work from the current issue now and work for the future. The reason is the constrain that we have today. If we are able to look at what we have and think to improve things in the future using what we have, the ideas will be better as it is used to tackle current issue. Another key takeaway is that when we assess a technology, one most important consideration that we should have is the impact on society. People are the one that are dependent on technology. If one fails to consider that factor as his priority, the technology might not be useful and well accepted by the society.
I would rate this week's lesson as 8 and i am looking forward for next week's group presentation!
Before i end my post, i will share a meaningful quote that i have found this week.
The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

Lesson 9: Emerging and future technologies
This week's lesson focus our attention to emerging and potential technologies that is emerging in the future. We discussed mainly on nanotechnology, robotics, surveillance technology and computing-based simulation technologies. The quote of the week shared by Dr Gurinder is
"In terms of the development and application of new and emerging technologies, we are limited only by our imagination - and, all too often, the lack there of."
What is meant by the above statement is that technologies knew no bounds and the only boundary is the boundary set by humans; lack of imagination. Just like what George Bernard says, "You see things and you say, 'why?' but I dream things that never were and say why not?" What he trying to suggest is that we need to let our imagination run wild and this is only when we can create new technologies that will benefit our society. In addition, the source of motivation to create that wild imagination is actually the unmet market opportunities and need. In short, the market force is the one that drives R and D and hence, new technologies emerge.
One of the interest things that i have observed for this week's lesson is robotic technologies. The "perfect woman" was developed by 2 Japanese and that "perfect woman" is someone that all man would desire. The project was initiated as he has seen that there are a handful number of people in this society who are lonely and lack of friends. This is one good example of the development of robotic technology and other products include robotic pet and robotic "hands" in factories to assemble complicated parts. Another interesting observation is the rising of nanotechnology. Prior to this lesson, i was not sure how much nanotechnology can do to improve our lives. However, my knowledge has expanded with the video that prof has shared and the presentation that one of our peers has done. I am amazed by how cryonics can do and it is inexpensive. However, every emerging technology will face some ethical issues. In this case, it involves resurrection and people might start the question if this technology is morally right as we are indirectly playing the will God has created. The question that i hope that we could have more time to discuss on is how are we able to eradicate this perception and make people accept this technology.
One of the key takeaway message that i wish to drive across is that whatever new ideas or technologies that introduced, it's bound have conflict with ethical issues. However, I feel that sometimes we have to put ethical issue aside in order to have breakthrough. Another key takeaway that i want to share is that the difference between us and computer is that a computer is able to retain all the knowledge that the world posses but humans can only retain a certain portion of it. Hence, we can see that we must create a relationship between computer and us so we are able to maximise what the computer has with what we know in order to create the limitless imagination that I have mentioned earlier. Only then, new breakthroughs could be made and new technologies could emerge.
I would rate this week lesson 8/10 and i hope that i will benefit from the leftover 3 sessions with Dr Gurinder and gain interesting insights from TWC.

Lesson 8:Energy and World Change ( Past, Present and future)
This week's lesson focuses on Energy and world change from 3 dimensions namely, past, present and future. We have discussed in class about how energy has transformed from the fossil fuels era to our era of using green technology to achieve sustainable development. In our world today, we are focusing on energy conserving technologies in terms of maximising energy efficiency and GDP. We are seeking new ways to create a new source of energy that do not pollute the environment and at the same time prevent pollution in our environment. This is actually in line prof Gurinder quote of the week as shown below
"The days of fossil fuels are numbered.
Renewable energy will drive the green revolution"
One of the interesting observations that i found is since the discovery of fossil fuel, it has been used extensively and something unexpected happened in 2009; It was the only time when the fuel usage is the lowest. Some may argue that this is not due to the increased awareness of green technologies but largely due to economy contraction due to various unforeseen circumstances. I do agree that it is part of the reason but not the main reason. As we are facing the wretch of global warming, there is a need to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and switch our attention to renewable energies. The reason is simply given the estimated amount of fossil fuels left, it will only last between 40-50 years. Hence, i would say that it is through this awareness, companies and government decide to reduce their reliance on renewable energies. Next interesting fact is that the sun transmit as much as 3 850 000 EJ the earth and this is something that we can work on. What is more surprising is that we are tapping less than 1/4 of the energy that the sun has gave to the earth. The source of fossil fuels indirectly comes from solar and i believe that we can focus on solar energy as a source of renewable energy since the energy is in abundance. One country that adopted this approach is Germany. Germany aims is to achieve 20% renewable energy usage within in the country by 2020.
The key takeaway for this week is that there is a need to switch to alternate forms of energy generation. We should not rely on fossil fuels for energy generation our non renewable resources are depleting. If we do not curb our usage, we will be compromising our future generations and hence not achieving sustainable development. We can see that countries such as Brazil are moving towards Bioethanol. I am sure that as time goes by, different countries will expand their creativity on creating new technologies that is green and reduce their reliance on non renewable resources. Another key takeaway is that the government and industries are not the only one that could play a part in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Community too can play a part. For instance, the cash incentives given to citizens in Germany that sells their excessive energy generated from their solar panel and the profit motivation factor encourage more people to adopt this technology. Government plays a huge role in encouraging the community to adopt this technology.
Well, this week session was another fruitful journey and it has indeed expand my knowledge about how much we have evolved from the fossil fuels ONLY era to our various forms of energy generation today. However, i hope a more elaborate discussion could be held with regards to Geo engineering which i finds it pretty interesting. Hence for this week lesson, i would rate it 8.5/10
Before i end this post, i will share with u guys with an interesting quote:
Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone your not, takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.

Lesson 7: BioBusiness revolution 2: Environmental Life Sciences and Industrial Biotechnology (Past, Present and Future)
"When we are able to grow the resources we need, we will finally be on the road to sustainability."
The picture above actually depicts the various means that we are using to move towards sustainability and the branches stopped at certain point and the missing links are actually the resources we need to drive all the activities shown in the picture. Once we are able to find the missing links, we would have actually complete the whole picture and i believe that we are already on our way to find the missing links.
Environmental life sciences and industrial biotechnology are the 2 main types of technology driven by biobusiness and according to the statistics in 2001, it accounts for over US$ 9.7 trillion of the world's GDP and i strongly believe that the figures could have reached as much as US$15 trillion today especially with the high emphasis on sustainable development.
One surprising fact brought by Dr Gurinder this week is that we are still suffering from rural overcrowding. I believe that this is probably due to the high cost of living in the urban area and also the natives in those area are rather conservative, hence resistant to changes. This has actually caused some concerns as it has led to poor and dirty living environment. Since those people are living at rural areas, their income tends to be lower and result in poverty. 1 of the MDGs is to actually reduces poverty in developing countries and i think the root of the problem is rural overcrowding and once this issue has been solved. Poverty rate can actually be reduced. Next interesting fact would actually be about the presentation that one of our peers had presented about Monsanto.
I have heard about Monsanto but i am surprise that how they resort to bribery in an attempt to get their products approved by the legislation. In addition, they have employed the so call "GM police" to keep track of what the farmers have done and arrest those farmers that are suspected of keeping the GM seeds. I am sure the reason is because of their high pricing policy. The seeds itself constitute nearly 20% of the farmers income, excluding the cost of maintaining the crops. This is actually one of the examples of the down side of having BioBusiness, increasing the disparity between the rich and the poor; The rich who are able to afford it gets richer and the poor who are struggling for their basic needs get poorer.
Some key takeaways for this week lessons is actually so far the technology that we have created is linear, i.e. to say the advancement that mankind has made to technology is only to improve mankind and not beneficial to both mankind and environment. The rise of BioBusiness might be the way to change the linear function of the trend and improve the environment and at the same time, benefit mankind. Thus creating a win-win situtation. Nature has responded to us by increasing the number of natural disasters and creating global warming to warn us to change the linear relationship. Next would be with regards to the issue of genetic engineering. People are actually afraid of genetic engineering due to the modifications made and perhaps some ethical issue. However, i have to emphasise that whatever modifications we have made so far is nothing compared to the natural derivation of genetic modification. We have to accept it in a more open approach and so that we are able to reap the benefits of GM products. In the beginning stage, people might be skeptical about the benefits it can bring about but i believe once people start to see the improvement, it will also serves as a driver for them to work towards that improvement.
I would rate this week's lesson at 8/10. It has actually widen up my knowledge in the BioBusiness industry. However, i wish we could have more time for discussion with regards to the topic of the term flash pyrrosis ( i hope i did not spell it wrongly!) and for this time i would not look forward to the next lesson! Reason is simply that means recess week ended -.-
I shall end this week's entry with this quote.
"We wake up everyday with a list of wishes, and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true. But just because we want them, doesn’t mean that we need them to be happy."

Lesson 6:The BioBusiness Revolution 1: Healthcare and the Biomedical Sciences: Past, Present, Future
This week's focus on BioBusiness Revoultion and the market we are looking for is the healthcare and the biomedical science. The quote of the week by our Dr Gurinder is
"The Biobusinesshas the potential to will transform our lives and economies"
Dr Gurinder has categorized lives to 5 main categories; Health,energy source, food, clothes and others. In our world today, biobusiness plays an important role in our society today as it has already constitute over 25% of global GDP and it employs some 40% of the world's labor force. In addition, it may be our best hope for achieving sustainable development.
One interesting facts i have learnt during this session is that actually we share 99% genetic similarity with Chimpanzee and also 88% with mice and this fact actually encourage scientist to try out more bio products as they can obtain the results from mice for analysis before releasing the products to the market. Another interesting fact is that healthcare and biomedical science are the 2 revolutions covered side by side and the improvement of healthcare is largely due to the advancement of biomedical science. For instance, there's a device invented specifically to measure your sugar level and who knows that in the near future, daily measurement of your sugar level will be sent to the doctor and if it is not at the optimal level, the doctor will alert you and inform you to reduce your sugar intake. As the saying goes, prevention is better that cure and if we are able to detect this small little thing before it snowballs to a big problem, the chances of contracting certain disease can be minimized.
The presentation that attracted my attention is the Human Genome project and it involves the focus on the study of the DNA structure. It is good to know how our DNA functions so we can delve deeper into the structure, study on it and improve it. One key takeaway message for this lesson to take away is that as knowledge advances, we need to redefine our understanding of knowledge so it does not obsolete. With so many information created n changed everyday, it is essential to manage it properly so humans do not abuse it. Technology itself is neutral but when rights are given to humans. We tend to abuse it. The next interesting fact is how the market mechanism has played a big role in making some vaccines expensive. The cost of production maybe cheap but it is due to the interaction between the consumers' demands and supplier' supply of the goods that determine the equilibrium price. Just like the case of insurance that one of our peers has covered.
The question i think we can have more time to discussion on is the application of the results obtained from the human genome project. The main concern of the application of the project is ethical issues. Some people might feel that we are defying nature and change what god has created. So, how we can eradicate this issue is another discussion we can discuss and focus on if we had more time.
I would rate this week's lesson as 8/10 and i feel that the flow of the presentation and teaching is just right. not many of them exceed the time limit.I hope next week we will have a better understanding of the topic when prof starts part 2 of biobusiness!
