CEE 181 F INAL REVIEW - ASU "2001" suggests that after hugging the monolith, a monkey with a bone is like: - a man with a rifle "Embedded water" is an idea that helps us assess environmental impact by estimating - The amount of water used to produce commonly used and traded items "Peak Oil" is a theory which suggests: - that humans will consume all the petroleum available on earth in our lifetimes "Sustainable engineering" is the same as "green engineering". - False Adaptive management is a technique used for managing: - Complex systems that have significant human and social dimensions Among the more problematic issues with simplistic definitions of sustainable development is: - any assumption that we know what future generations will need is probably wrong, and any enforcement of such assumptions constitutes temporal imperialism. Among the reasons the "climate change" debate is so fractious are: - Some oversimplify and view it as a problem to be solved instead of a condition to be managed Developed countries cannot simply tell developing countries to stop burning fossil fuels. There are still significant differences of opinion about how much climate change is natural, and how much is caused by human impacts. Any sufficiently powerful technology - destabilizes existing cultural, institutional, economic, environmental, and technological systems in unpredictable ways As a human -designed construct, "Nature" has meant different things to different people at different times, hence it must be understood as a concept whose meaning and use is dependent on specific worldviews. - True As a responsible sustainability initiative, banning nanotechnology is feasible. - False As a rule of thumb, the precautionary principle as stated in the UN charter for nature is - naive As categories like "human" and "machine" increasingly blur: moral value systems will be stretched causing cultural tension and conflict all of the above shared ethical systems will be renegotiated and evolve it will no longer be possible to make simplistic decisions about technologies involving human enhancement - all of the above As classically defined, Sustainability has two "legs" by which it is defined. These are: - environmental quality and social equity As discussed in this lecture, augmented cognition or "augcog" is - an integration of humans and information technology (e.g., computers and networks) that enables humans to function more effectively in the increasingly technology -enabled world in which we live As humanity progresses into the future, the virtualization of work will: - Require an integrated evolution of practice, technology, culture, and institutional structures As reported by the journal Science, we can change some human responses to ethical dilemmas with transcranial brain stimulation. How does this impact society? - It calls into question whether "ethics" is really something that matters. It impacts how we feel about whether or not we have free will. It impacts the legal system since we may no longer be responsible for our behavior. Attempting to halt human enhancement is problematic because (select all that apply): - Halting human enhancement represents an attempt to impose a particular belief system on people Too many people are interested in human enhancement for its potential benefits Human enhancements develop in military situations, which are difficult to stop Based on Earth Systems Engineering and Management (ESEM) principles, iron fertilization of oceans (with the goal of reducing atmospheric CO2 levels): - should be tried in small quantities and continuously evaluated Believing the output of sophisticated global climate models is a bad idea because the models simply reflect our best understanding of complex physical phenomena, and sometimes --despite our best efforts --demonstrate interpretational bias. - True Burning biofuels seems like a great way to exploit carbon -based fuels while approaching net zero increase in atmospheric carbon until you remember: - Growing biomass for fuel implicates Nitrogen in fertilizer use (which comes through an energy intensive process). Phosphorus is used in fertilizers and must be mined. Even if the biofuel is from a non -food source, it usually requires fairly intensive care to optimize production. Cars and computers are - technologies of freedom Changing from a traditional corporate structure to a virtual office environment is: - a more significant change than it first appears due to legal, information security, productivity measurement, time management, taxation and other challenges Communicating well in written form:
