Google Tech Talks November 15, 2006 ABSTRACT What is it about technology that does not change? What persistent patterns can we learn—can society at large learn—in order to understand and evaluate the technologies underlying our important personal, political, social, and economic decisions? The author of "Technology Challenged" and director of nonprofit corporation KnowledgeContext, Miguel F. Aznar, will share stories about Hawaiian bobtail squid, North Korean radios, and nanotechnology to illustrate a strategy for understanding and evaluating any technology. This strategy is the seed for a technological literacy curriculum that KnowledgeContext has been offering in a grassroots attempt to change how we teach technology. By making the world's information widely accessible, Google is driving the pace of technological change. This Tech Talk will provide a tool to promote critical thinking to help us guide that change.
