    Introduction to

    Science, Technology,
    and Society

    Prepared by: Mr. Joey Estorosos


    What is STS?
    • Science, Technology, and Society (STS) is an interdisciplinary field of
    study rooted in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science and
    technology. It examines deep cultural roots of our techno-scientific
    society and addresses pressing public policy issues.
    • Interdisciplinary study of the interaction of science and technology
    with society and culture.
    • The realization that discoveries and inventions are shaped by
    historical forces and in turn influence values, events, and institutions,
    thus shaping the course of history.
    Intellectual Revolution
    Antiquity?
    What was known?
    How was it known?
    For what purposes?
    Who were those guys?
    Relevance of the past?
    Technology Matters
    Can we control technology?
    Is technology predictable?
    Technology has made us smarter and happier?
    More or less work?
    Cultural uniformity or diversity?
    Abundance or ecological crisis?
    Security or danger?
    Multiple future prospects?
    Brave New World
    Human Nature versus Mother Nature?
    Can we fix the sky?
    Playing “god”?
