The Work of the Future
Why the United States lags behind other industrialized countries in sharing the benefits of innovation with workers and how we can remedy the problem. The United States has too many low-quality, low-wage jobs. Every country has its share, but those in the United States are especially poorly paid and often without benefits. Meanwhile, overall productivity increases steadily and new technology has transformed large parts of the economy, enhancing t…
Hot Spot of Invention
The idea that a vehicle could navigate entirely on its own, with no references to outside signals, formed a compelling narrative for Cold War engineers and led to the technology of “inertial guidance.” Few were as influential at creating that narrative and technology than Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Mit) professor Charles Stark Draper. Draper also built an institution, known as the Mit Instrumentation Laboratory, which survives today a…

Precision Navigation and Remotes Sensing for Underwaters Archaeology
An Ocean in Common
In the late 1980s, while working as an engineer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, I spent many a late night alone in the lab. Occasionally an older gentleman would come around the darkened building and ask me what I was working on. He'd listen with genuine interest, contribute a few insights, and then regale me with miniature lectures about far-out ideas, like hanging long cables from geosynchronous satellites. It all sounded a bit nut…
Iron Age Shipwrecks in Deep Water off Ashkelon, Israel
In 1997, two shipwrecks were first discovered in the Mediterranean Sea west of Israel by the U.S. Navy's research Submarine NR-1. Further investigation in 1999 with the remotely operated vehicle system Medea/Jason found the wrecks to be from the eighth century B.C., the earliest known shipwrecks to be found in the deep sea. Both ships appear to be of Phoenician origin, laden with cargoes of fine wine destined for either Egypt or Carthage, when th…
War, Technology, and Experience Aboard the USS Monitor
The USS Monitor battled CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads in April, 1862. This text explores how mariners - fighting blindly beneath waterline - lived and coped with metal monster they called the iron coffin. Combining technical, personal, administrative and literay analysis, David Mindell examines experience of men aboard Monitor and their reactions to thrills and dangers that accompanied new machine. The invention surrounded men with iron and threa…
War, Technology, and Experience Aboard the USS Monitor
Professor David A. Mindell has written a rather longheaded study of USS Monitor's place in history, claiming that the shock of Monitor's dramatic deflection of CSS Virginia in history's first ironcladtoironclad clash made it immediately obvious that naval warfare would change drastically. Certainly Monitor's very shape, almost all g eometric forms, emphasized the point. But Mindell's work is flawed by a major oversight, factual errors, and a stri…
Imaging Underwater for Archaeology
In this paper we examine underwater imaging for archaeology and especially the use of multiple acoustic and optical sensors at varying degrees of resolution for reconnaissance and mapping sites on the seafloor. Specifically, we look at the role of side-scan sonar for locating suitable sites of interest, which may then be mapped quantitatively with bathymetric sonars. We also discuss the role of conventional digital and video cameras in providing …
Opening Black's Box
Like any modern episteme worthy of the name, the theory of feedback has a myth of origin. On a sunny August morning in 1927, Harold Black, a twenty-nine-year-old systems engineer, rode the Lackawanna ferry to work at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Many Bell engineers lived in New Jersey, and on the early morning ferry rides across the Hudson to the Manhattan laboratories they frequently gathered on the forward deck. This morning Black stood alo…
