    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_science

    David Parkin compared the epistemological stance of science to that of divination.He suggested that, to the degree that divination is an epistemologically specific means of gaining insight into a given question, science itself can be considered a form of divination that is framed from a Western view of the nature (and thus possible applications) of knowledge.

  3. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    Many limits derived in terms of physical constants and abstract models of computation in computer science are loose. [12] Very few known limits directly obstruct leading-edge technologies, but many engineering obstacles currently cannot be explained by closed-form limits.

  4. Technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology

    The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, [2] [3] including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software. Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life. Technological advancements have led to significant changes in society.

  5. Linear model of innovation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_model_of_innovation

    Original model of three phases of the process of technological change: Invention is followed by Innovation, which is followed by Diffusion. The Linear Model of Innovation was an early model designed to understand the relationship of science and technology that begins with basic research that flows into applied research, development and diffusion [1]

  6. Technological singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

    Technology forecasters and researchers disagree regarding when, or whether, human intelligence will likely be surpassed. Some argue that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will probably result in general reasoning systems that bypass human cognitive limitations. Others believe that humans will evolve or directly modify their biology so as ...

  7. Technology and society - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_and_society

    Technology, society and life or technology and culture refers to the inter-dependency, co-dependence, co-influence, and co-production of technology and society upon one another. Evidence for this synergy has been found since humanity first started using simple tools.

  8. Scientific integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_integrity

    If the ethical aspects of open science continue to be left out of RCR (Responsible Code of Research) guidance and ponderings, the research community risks losses on both fronts: open science as well as RI (Research integrity). Open science is just as much about values and ethics as it is about technology.

  9. Technological change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_change

    Technological change (TC) or technological development is the overall process of invention, innovation and diffusion of technology or processes. [1] [2] In essence, technological change covers the invention of technologies (including processes) and their commercialization or release as open source via research and development (producing emerging technologies), the continual improvement of ...
