Week 11

In this week's session of TWC, we discussed some drivers for technology assessment and forecasting. First off we have exponential growth in the range of new technologies with potential world changing significance, the need to gain an understanding of what kinds of changes a new technology innovation might bring in different aspects, the need to prioritize in deciding whether and when to invest in R & D of new innovations and technologies and lastly the need to prioritize, given the limited resources on whether and when to implement and use new innovations and technologies which can be especially important in developing countries.

I liked the session as we discussed many amazing possibilities about the innovations and energy creation that fascinates me. I would rate this session a 8 out of 10 as we were able to talk about anything new and innovative and world changing.
