  • Robert Fulton's Torpedoes

    Stephen H Cutcliffe, Kimberly FabbriARTICLETechnology and Culture2010

    Robert Fulton, usually remembered for his steamboats, also developed underwater mines that he called "torpedoes" as part of a naval weapons system that he hoped would keep the seas safe for travel and commerce. Two of Fulton's original drawings of these "torpedoes" are held by the Lehigh University Libraries Special Collections Department. Fulton executed these drawings in pen and ink and colored washes at the time the British were preparing to w…

  • Travels In and Out of Town

    Stephen H CutcliffeARTICLETechnology and Culture2010

    William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis (New York, 1991) is one of the most important books seeking to understand and explicate the symbiosis, if not unity, of city and countryside. Its thesis is that neither the city of Chicago nor its surrounding environmental hinterland can be understood independently of the other, "for they can only exist in each other's presence." Cronon's "series of stories," which track the flow in and out of town of people, …

  • Risky Talk

    Open AccessChristine M Pense, Stephen H CutcliffeARTICLEBulletin of Science Technology &…2007

    Nanotechnology promises to amend an understanding of elemental properties, alter the basic techniques of manufacturing, and improve disease diagnosis. There is a disconnect among the positive predictions of scientists and researchers, the fears of public interest groups, and the developers of products. A new framework for evaluating the social implications of nanotechnology will permit a dialogue among interest groups, who currently fail to effec…

  • The Greenwood Technographies

    Stephen H CutcliffeARTICLETechnology and Culture2007

    This piece is an essay review of a fourteen-volume series of "Technolographies," or "Life Stories" of important artifacts. These accessible histories fall into three major categories-communication, transportation, and military technologies. Each study attempts to balance the technical with the societal, but individual volumes vary in their orientation from the internal to the contextual. The series does a nice job in reaching out to its intended …

  • Balabanian bears thoughtful rereading today

    Open AccessStephen H Cutcliffe, Stephen CutcliffeARTICLEIEEE Technology and Society…2006

    Balabanian suggests that an "ideology of technology" has emerged, one that assumes a value-neutrality for technology while ignoring political power and economic interests, one that blames "man" when things go wrong. The author thinks Balabanian is correct to argue that there are many different "we's" in society who bear responsibility for technological choice and that as such we should distinguish levels of responsibility that may range from corp…

  • Technologies of Power

    Stephen H CutcliffeARTICLETechnology and Culture2002

    "We have understood for centuries that technology is an instrument of power" (p. 1). So opens this important collection of essays.
