Technological Change - Science topic

Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,

Every country faces the choice of how to allocate its resources to maximise economic growth. Investments in infrastructure, such as roads, railways, power and telecommunications networks, improve the conditions for doing business and accelerate the development of regions. In contrast, investments in innovation and new technologies can accelerate economic transformation and lead to productivity growth. For the purposes of this discussion, I have formulated the following research thesis: investments in technological innovation bring long-term economic growth, but infrastructure investments are key to short-term economic development and regional integration. Accordingly, this problem is of key importance for economic development strategies and investment policies. It requires an interdisciplinary approach, including economic analysis, infrastructure project management and research into the impact of new technologies on productivity growth. Different economic models may point to different results - developing countries may benefit more from infrastructure investments, while highly developed economies need innovation to remain competitive.

I have described the key issues of the opportunities and threats of developing artificial intelligence technologies in my article below:

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT

The issue of Industry 4.0/5.0 technology applications, including Big Data Analytics to improve data and information transfer and processing systems, is described in the following articles:

THE QUESTION OF THE SECURITY OF FACILITATING, COLLECTING AND PROCESSING INFORMATION IN DATA BASES OF SOCIAL NETWORKING

IMPORTANCE AND SECURITY OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE INTERNET IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC ENTITIES IN POLAND

As AI systems keep developing at breakneck speeds—assuming an increasing number of tasks across various industries, from manufacturing to customer service—there is general misunderstanding that jobs as a whole will eventually disappear. It is this belief that usually generates fear among workers who believe that fast technological developments will make them unemployed or incapable of adapting their skills. But it is important to recognize that although some jobs might change or become obsolete, new categories of jobs will probably be created, necessitating different skill sets and the capacity to adapt to the new environment. Therefore, instead of focusing solely on the concept of obsolescence that is otherwise associated with progress in technology, we must equally emphasize the incredible potential for evolution, re-training, and subsequent creation of fresh and innovative occupations in this dynamically changing and constantly evolving job marketplace. It has to be underscored that just as some types of jobs could become obsolete, others will materialize, and they will create new skills and capabilities that have the potential of creating wonderful professional opportunities. Through the emphasis on adaptability and lifelong learning, we can better prepare ourselves and the workforce for future challenges and opportunities. By embracing this forward-thinking approach, not only will we benefit as individuals, but also our economy and society as a whole. This viewpoint ignores that although certain jobs are automated, new occupations and positions often emerge to augment AI technologies, necessitating human capabilities that machines can't match.intelligence systems improve exponentially—robotizing more and more types of work in a growing number of sectors, from factory floors to call centers—a prevalent myth remains that entire careers will ultimately disappear. This concept is likely to instill fear in employees who are concerned that fast technological changes will make them unemployed with no real career prospects or means to enhance their skills. However, it should be pointed out that although certain occupations may become redundant or shift, new categories of jobs will definitely emerge that require different skill sets and an ability to adapt to the changing environment. Therefore, rather than focusing solely on obsolescence, we need to emphasize the potential for growth, upskilling, and new job creation in this dynamic labor market. This perspective does not account for the fact that while some jobs become automated, new careers and functions tend to develop to complement AI technology, demanding human skills that cannot be readily replicated by machines.

I want to open a debate on the thoughts that different individuals of new generations may have, in this way we can compare it with that of previous generations and observe the changes that we have suffered mentally.

It should be noted that not only political or ideological thoughts are intended, but also economic, technological changes etc ...

We can say that the new generations, in the last two decades, have grown up with great advances in technology, which has made our lives easier.

What we want is to compare our ideology in all respects with the ideology of our ancestors.

Almost every development we cover on Our World in Data is underpinned by technological change.

Medical innovations contributed to the decline in child mortality and the improvement in life expectancy. Thanks to the advances in agricultural technologies, higher crop yields and less undernourishment became possible. The long-term decline of global poverty was primarily driven by increased productivity from technological change. Access to energy, electricity, sanitation, and clean water has transformed the lives of billions. Transport, telephones, and the Internet have allowed us to collaborate on problems at a global level.

Emerging technologies are often expensive and, therefore, initially limited to society's richest. A key part of technological progress is making these life-changing and often life-saving innovations affordable for everyone.

Technology has improved our lives in many ways, but these developments are not always positive. Many of humanity’s largest threats — such as nuclear weapons and potentially artificial intelligence — result from technological advances. To mitigate these risks, good governance can be as important as the technology itself.

According to the following points, describe your opinion:

How can space technology change the global economy?

In the context of the specific measures, instruments and programmes of economic state interventionism applied during the recent financial and economic crises, there are still debates concerning the assessment of their effectiveness and the resolution of whether these interventionist measures actually help economies and reduce the scale of the development of crises or rather generate these crises. One of the key, fundamental currents in the history of economic thought, i.e. classical economics, points to the need to limit the government's influence on the economic process as much as possible, leaving all processes in the economy to the market mechanism. In the 20th century, economic, financial, social, technological, political, etc. realities changed, which determined the development of various concepts, forms and aspects of economic state interventionism, including the successively increasing influence of the state on economic and financial processes. On the other hand, the 1970s saw the development of neoclassical currents, which, on the one hand, referring to classical economics, updated the question of the importance of the dominant categories of production factors, including categories of production factors of increasing importance, i.e. technology, information, entrepreneurship, innovation, etc. The growing importance of these categories of production factors was due to the third technological revolution taking place at the time, determined by the development of ICT information technology, structurally changing economies with a growing service sector, the increasing scale of deregulation of financial markets as a result of the commodity crises of the 1970s. In addition, it happened that the symptoms of a developing economic crisis were misinterpreted and, in order to limit the level of investment credit, central banks raised interest rates, causing an increase in the cost of borrowing money, a decrease in the availability of credit, a decrease in the level of liquidity in many economic entities and, consequently, an aggravation of the economic crisis. This kind of situation occurred at the end of the 1920s and led to the then greatest economic crisis known as the Great Depression of the period 1929-1933 in the USA and up to 1934 in Europe. Also in terms of the government's formulation of budgetary and fiscal policy, signals from the financial markets and the economy were often misinterpreted, which then resulted in the inappropriate use of interventionist economic, budgetary or fiscal policy instruments. For example, the introduction of a historically large amount of additional money into the economy during the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) in 2020 became one of the key factors in the rise in inflation in 2021 - 2023. The tightened anti-inflationary monetary policy of central banking caused a significant downturn in the economy. In view of the above, the frequently misinterpreted symptoms of changes in the economic situation in the economy determined the inappropriate application of anti-crisis economic policy instruments, which led to the occurrence of another crisis or aggravation of the scale of the already developing economic crisis. In view of the above, an important research thesis can be added to our considerations concerning the importance of the role and significance of state interventionism not only in the context of anti-crisis economic policy but also in generating economic, financial, debt, etc. crises. I therefore address the following question: Do you agree with my following thesis that honestly and fairly towards the citizens, fully realistically pro-social, without corruption and respecting the legal norms in force, state interventionism conducted within the framework of economic policy usually solves economic problems, reduces the scale of economic crises, etc.? On the other hand, state interventionism conducted within the framework of economic policy, but conducted unreliably unfairly towards citizens, unethically, with acceptance of corruption, usually leads to economic, financial, debt and other crises and generates various economic, social and other problems. In view of the above, considerations concerning the evaluation of the effectiveness of measures, instruments and systems applied by the government within the framework of economic state interventionism, the resolution of whether these interventionist measures actually help economies and reduce the scale of the development of crises or rather generate these crises, should also include the determination of the scale and legitimacy of the application of keys economics in the context of the fluctuation of economic processes within the framework of multi-year business cycles, the growing indebtedness of the system of state finances and the unaccounted for negative effects within the framework of social, climatic and environmental external costs, i.e. environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, etc.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Hi everyone,

Please I need help! Do you know any papers or book chapters discussing journalistic storytelling? Especially overviews and discusses how technology changed the formats of journalistic storytelling?

Many thanks!

Many new eco-innovations and green technologies have still not left the research laboratories, they are still in the research and testing, prototype phase. The current energy crisis should motivate both government agencies of ministries managing the energy sector and commercially operating companies and enterprises in the energy sector to subsidise the ongoing research work, conducted in research and development institutions on the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies. The current energy crisis is characterised by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the increasing scale of energy shortages. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. Another and perhaps more sensible solution to support citizens and businesses to survive the energy crisis would be to increase subsidies to R&D and scientific institutions in whose laboratories new eco-innovations and energy technologies are developed. This raises the question of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy and other technologies being created now, what kind of R&D should be subsidised now?

What is your opinion on this subject?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are now widely regarded as mature and promising for the future of mobility. As the markets expand, the next battery technologies are being marketed as a miraculous answer for the energy transition to zero-emission automobiles. EVs are seen as the silver bullet for end-user electrification and a major weapon for combating global warming, allowing us to shift without having to change any of our lifestyles or mobility, which are based on the private car. Unfortunately, the electric vehicle is not a clean or carbon-free technology. Is there a future alternative to our current mode of transportation? How will knowledge and cutting-edge technologies change and solve our transportation problems?

There are continuous debate and discussions about the role of teacher in the fast changing world where 21st century learners are marked with maximum diversity. The emerging technologies and pedagogies in education are making the task of teaching and learning quite easier and smarter. Teacher is required to undergo multiple roles apart from mere traditional teaching. Traditional teachers who are not willing to accept such changes would be bypassed by the technological inventions. Can it be possible that incoming highly advanced technology and evolved pedagogy will replace a teacher completely. Kindly suggest your valuable inputs and insights.

This is a work in progress attempt to crystallise the 3 main ontologies, schools, mindsets and underlying theology, metaphysics if you will, among the "3 Wise Men" (Goodman - UK, Reimann - German, and Jacobson - US) from CoCo. Each of CoCo's founding fathers' learning technologies reflect their nationalities, and by extension, their national universities' concerns and agendas for the learner.

By tracing the underlying "self" of their respective technological formulations, one could delineate their contrasting (sometimes overlapping, ontologies, schools) mindsets and govern-mentalities embedded in their respective learning technologies.

In Goodman's works, there's a preoccupation with space and architecture, notably the need to recolonise monotonous routine driven places. There's a strong streak of Marxist geography found in the works of David Harvey that focuses on redistributing justice and power via spatial arrangements such as design driven planning and regeneration. Through the spatial (re-)arrangement of the learning environment, (To be continued!).

If in the process of technological and technical progress new kinds of products and services are created that improve the lives of people, it can be assumed that at certain times people may seem to be happier, then people can feel happier.

But after some time, people get used to a certain level of life and look for further stimuli from the world of science, technology, technology, production of goods, provision of new services that will meet the growing human needs.

However, it seems to me that in such a situation one should consider and verify the essence of the concept of happiness.

What is the achievement of people's sense of happiness in the realities of the current technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0?

Is the definition of the concept of happiness not deformed in the realities of current reality dominated largely by technology in technologically developed countries?

Is it sure that technological progress gives people a sense of happiness?

Technical and technological progress itself provides new products, but it does not necessarily always make people feel happier and certainly not in the long term.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

In the context of the above issues, the following question is valid:

For example, imagine if nuclear fusion technology was developed at a nuclear power plant, in which nuclear material would neutralize toxic waste in this way.

Or if power plants were built, in which hydrogen would be burned in oxygen in a controlled way and in this way electricity would be produced and the whole power plant would be built in the formula of a new generation steam engine, with water vapor arising in the process of the said hydrogen combustion in oxygen.

If it were possible, this type of technological solutions currently considered surreal and unreal could solve global problems being a derivative of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the ever-accelerating process of global warming and the growing demand for electricity.

Hello all,

Can you suggest relevant readings on the micro-foundation for evolutionary economics? I assume the suggested readings will span several fields.

Actually I am searching for any relevant theoretical frameworks that allow the cognitive, interpretive framework of agents to change as the consequence of dialogue with other people. I think Nelson and Winter (1982)'s classical, routine-based model of agents is not relevant enough because it has little room to include the changes in interpretive framework, because it is a bit awkward to take the interpretive framework as a part of routines.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

I am working on an advanced version of the Real Business Cycle theory, RBC, and I want to compare my results with the ones of traditional RBC. So that I need the following time series already generated by RBC researchers: the predicted and actual time series of USA about annual growth rates of GDP, Hours worked, etc.

In other words I need an information about published or unpublished researches containing these time series generated by the RBC method. Just in case, the preliminary draft of my research is attached in the file "NON-STOCHASTIC RBC".

I have managed to find only “ancient” data of this type, published in 1989. This paper “Understanding Real Business Cycles” is attached and contains these data in pages 63-65.

But I failed to “dig out” something more recent,

and I would very much appreciate any help on these time series.

I am trying to assess or predict the use of one specific technology that might have several impacts on an operational activity - drilling in the oil industry. This technology is supposed to improve the efficiency of drilling in various aspects among which the economic aspects are of high importance to me.

I am seeking a quantitative method that can help me measure and predict the economic outcomes of this change. So I would be thankful if anyone could suggest using any method for this need.

I do not have the figures for researchers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but for this discussion, I will assume that in a population of researchers, a fair fraction will be researchers in STEM.

The Philippines has a frustratingly small number of researchers (~188 researchers for every 1 million inhabitants). This is probably the reason it lags behind its neighbors in the STEM fields. This, I would suppose, has detrimental effects on the overall development of the country. Its neighbors, such as South Korea (~7500 researchers/million inhabitants), Singapore (~6700 researchers/million inhabitants), Japan (~5300 researchers/million inhabitants), Malaysia (~2400 researchers/million inhabitants), Thailand (~1200 researchers/million inhabitants), China (~1200 researchers/million inhabitants), and Vietnam (~700 researchers/million inhabitants), that have significantly larger densities of researchers have overtaken the Philippines in many aspects of development. Other countries, such as Laos (~16 researchers/million inhabitants), Cambodia (~30 researchers/million inhabitants), Myanmar (~29 researchers/million inhabitants) seem to also lag in many aspects of progress.

What might it take for countries such as ours to raise more researchers and scientists? Would you be able to provide suggestions on how we might do so despite the fact that the Philippines and other countries with small densities of researchers are low- to middle-income countries?

In its draft, the report concludes that global value chains can continue to support growth, create better job opportunities and reduce poverty rates, provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms, and that industrialized countries pursue open, inclusive, and pre-defined policies. Most importantly, if countries fail to invest in human capital, they may end up in the middle income trap and then fall behind from the next stage of development. Evidence also suggests that technological changes will likely be a blessing more than a curse on trade and global value chains. The benefits of sharing global value chains can be widely and sustainable shared if all countries support social and environmental protection.

Globalisation, social and technological change, all lead to inevitable management issues. How do businesses thrive and what are these recent key issues affecting organisations?

Should the instruments of motivating scientists and employees of companies to come up with new ideas, research concepts and innovations be improved in management processes?

Yes, in my opinion every scientific concept, idea, innovative solution, technological improvement, streamlining improvements, etc. after implementation into production should be properly rewarded. Every originator, inventor, etc. should receive a salary. It is necessary in a modern growing economy. In addition, instruments of motivating originators, scientists, also people employed in companies in various positions, should be constantly perfected to create well-designed financial instruments and / or non-financial remuneration for ideas, ideas, innovations, patents, improvement solutions, technological improvements, etc. implemented with positive effects. It is necessary that new ideas, ideas, innovations, etc. are created as much as possible and that they are implemented on a production scale. In the 21st century, especially pro-ecological innovations are particularly sought-after and necessary. In this way, the scope of cooperation, relationship between science and business is increased, and this is necessary in modern knowledge-based economies.

In the light of the above, encouraging discussion, I turn to you with the following question:

Should employee motivation instruments be invented in the management processes to come up with new ideas, research concepts and innovations?

Do you know the latest concepts of improving the instruments of motivating scientists and employees of companies to come up with new ideas, research concepts, innovations, ...?

Technological change seems to be increasing the demand for workers that perform non-rutinary tasks, but I would like to go further than this and see if the demand for workers with higher cognitive abilities is also increasing due to technological change. How does this differ between developed and developing countries? And among those that perform manual tasks, is the demand for workers with higher social abilities increasing more, relative to those that do not have these kind of skills, despite they are involved in the same kind of tasks?

If labor is the abundant factor in developing countries then trade should increase the labor demand, especially of less skilled workers, but it seems that exactly the opposite is happening: the relative demand for low skill workers is decreasing. It could be that the nature of trade is changing due to the technological advance.

I am exploring if the polarization of wages and employment observed in the US, the UK and other European countries due to task-biased technological change is also observed in countries like India, China, Brazil and Mexico.

I need to know if there are some recent articles about the effect of technological change on wages and employment in countries with low salaries. I hypothezise that technical change is not adopted very easily in these countries.

Advances in technology, changing funding regimes and student profiles, and developments in learning theories (amongst other things) have resulted in more and more higher education institutions embracing blended approaches to teaching and learning. In this changing landscape, many of our traditional assumptions and beliefs regarding teaching and learning are questioned.

Hi everyone, experts in each fields,

I am Ping, undergraduate student in Germany.

I am writing my thesis. I read the "Blue Ocean Strategies", this book brings up an idea that a combination between differentiation and low cost is feasible, not as Michael Porter's Generic Theories claimed that a trade-off must be made, or the firms will be stuck in the middle.

I showed this idea to one teacher, he said that considering the technology changes, a combination is of course feasible, no need to prove that. Though I would like to stick to this topic, but how can I start my research to find out something really interesting?

Thank you all.

Have a nice day.

Many students state reason for not being able to learn math, science, or technology due to a teacher, parent, or leader telling them they couldn't. Most carry that same bias through adult hood and that is why faculty do not accept technological change in their classrooms. Incompetency for faculty to teach and assist students in the classroom is low and knowledge-based technology can help with eliminating those bias.

I am looking for scholars concerned with the topic of technological change in the workplace from an employee perspective.

Firm profitability is generally regarded as an important precondition for long-term firm survival and success; moreover, the variable significantly affects the firm’s achievement of other financial goals. Another factor explaining the importance of firm profitability is its effect on economic growth, employment, innovation, and technological change. However, due to increasing competition, improved efficiency, and pricing pressure, firms are experiencing greater difficulty attaining the required profitability. The question of what factors determine profitability should accordingly be one of high priority for both researchers and practitioners, including managers, investors, debt holders, and policy makers.

Considering the media modifications brought about by digital technologies, we are starting to talk about Post-cinema and about the need to update national and international legislation that defines and governs television.

How should television policy change to suit those technological changes, to prevent delving on previous media anchors (as pointed out by McLuhan's tetrad)? 

I want to describe on a generall level how technological change impact on different technologies of an organization. I hope, there exist a kind of categorization schema for various kinds of technologies independently from any industry affiliation.

      In current research, it is usually considered that the technology adaptation is determined by the capital cost of different renewable energy technologies' costs. Can we take people's utility to these technologies into consideration?  

I am estimating the impacts of climate on crop productivity.

Y= (0.1272*time - 0.00424*time^2) - 0.09*temperature + constant

"(0.1272*time - 0.00424*time^2)" is a representation of technological progress and "-0.17*temperature" is the impacts of temperature Y (crop productivity).

This model is regressed from observed data 1976-2011.

so time is 1 from 1976 and so on, (time=36 in 2011)

I want to forecast the effects of climate on crop productivity in future.

But, the effects of technological progress will be negative

as "(0.1272*time - 0.00424*time^2)" will be negative after time > 72.

Can I reformulate the coefficients "0.1272" and "0.00424" so

the effects of technological progress will not negative ?

If yes, what are scientific background ?

Is that possible that technological progress, technical efficiency or TPF has a negative growth ?

If I say that better crop varieties as technical efficiency (same input but  better output) and better agricultural practices as technological progress ?

In the long term, is that possible that technological progress, technical efficiency or TPF be has a negative growth ?

The QWL as strategy of Human Resource Management has assumed increasing interest and importance.There are divergent views as to the exact meaning of QWL.

QWL is viewed as that umbrella under which employees feel fully satisfied with the working environment and extend their wholehearted cooperation and support to the management to improve productivity and work environment.

With technological developments , the work place has changed drastically , so also the  life of employees  . Do you feel  QWL has changed?

After regressing historical data, I got an equation c*ln A+ a*ln K+b* ln L+error, where A = technological change, K=kapital and L=labour. How do I change this equation to a general Cobb-Douglas function ?

I am worry that converting "c*ln A+ a*ln K+b* ln L+error" is not simple as to "A K^a L^b".

I wanna base my research on Adaptive technology application so as to improve distance protection. I am now bit stuck on how will I prove/ simulate all the conditions provided by the new technology and compare with traditional distance method.

Does anyone have a digital repository of this sort of data? This question is very open ended so feel free to ask away.

Leads so very appreciated.

The changing technology landscape is putting pressure on firms to adapt innovative product strategies. The life cycle of a particular technology lasts merely a few months - this is particularly applicable to the communication sector. 

How do we measure this technology evolution or disruption in technology?

No waste is wastage because they're many technological ways of converting waste into money via composting process, Anaerobic digestion [ wind rows or in-vessels].

In the information technology new generations of computers especially the PCs are produced. This is also valid in the communication technology which is changing in high rate from the first generation to the fourth in about two decades. Also the software programs operating them are changing also with the same rate. This is in the benefit of the vendors. In contrary, the consumers must pay the bill of the new products while their preceding products are still usable. I agree to affect changes and produce new generation of technologies but in a wise manner to avoid losses for the society and wasting of its resources.

Technological applications are essential features in the economic development of any society. A majority of world population,especially in the developing countries lives in rural areas. Technological inputs for rural areas will depend very much on local requirements and resources.The integration of the down sized units should be through cooperative movement.

We must look for the effective use of technological advances as the key to successful and sustainable development. The process of implementation is greatly strengthened if there is feedback from the users of technology to generators of knowledge.Literature sharing knowledge from blogs and wikis are important and they provide innovative ideas.
