Advancing Science and Technology Policy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, society around the entire world was able to do telework, participate in distance education, use telemedicine, purchase items, and/or get entertained through the use of services via the Internet. How did society get there
Connecting in Person and Networking
In April 2022, I was invited to lecture at Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA, and I met Dr. Pritpal Singh. Later, in June of that year during the IEEE TAB Series, I met the then President of the Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC), Dr. Sampathkumar Veeraraghavan. Later, in July during the IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC) sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS), I was invited to give a keynote talk an…
My Social Implications of Technology
Dr. René Favaloro
René Gerónimo Favaloro was a creator of cardiovascular bypass surgery, for which he has received little recognition and about whom little has been written or internationally acknowledged [1] . He was also a rural doctor, a committed citizen, and a teacher, researcher, and historian [2] . He was known not only for his scientific brilliance, but also for fighting for equality and social justice and for his commitment to education ( Figure 1 ). This…

Society’s Dilemma in Our Day in Age
As I travel around the world, I listen to older generations complain that their children do not go out of their homes and play outside. Instead, youngsters go to their rooms and “play” with their phones and computers. Already, many even prefer avoiding school and taking their courses online
The Role of Early Social Development in Networking and “ Serendipity ”
For those of us who were lucky as children to enjoy life and grew up with the support of loving families, going to school, playing sports and music, and making friends in our neighborhoods was just a way of life. Little did we know explicitly at the time of the importance of creating and maintaining human connection. As grownups, opportunities occur when we may have information that others lack. Because of social interactions, the use of critical…
The Unexpected Value of Volunteering
This is my first column as the 2023–2024 President of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). Many IEEE individuals belong exclusively to an IEEE Society where they meet others with similar interests and perhaps through publications and conferences they network and improve their professional skills. Other IEEE members become part of a working group or committee, thus increasing their chances of finding valuable contacts as w…
Words, Acronyms, Languages, and Perceptions
From the time I imigrated to the United States, I have always been very surprised by the constant use of acronyms in schools, industries, and government. In November 1978, I started my first full-time job with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) after finishing my doctorate at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I was to be part of a national team that tried to understand and define the computer requirements of faculty, pa…

Complexity in Science and Technology Policy… Symptoms or Disease? [Commentary]
For many years I have questioned how democracies decide, enact, and carry out Science and Technology (S&T) Policy. Around the world, most Congressional and parliamentary leaders tend to be lawyers who have no formal education in S&T Yet the decisions that these leaders make affect among other things, our education, our healthcare, and our national defense. It is in our best interest then to provide lawmakers with the best information available so…
