內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介：
The presentation considers the emergence of distributed forms of technology assessment. Focusing on the US case, with other international examples, there is consideration of the rise and fall of formalized technology assessment in the USA. This draws on the experience of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment from the 1970s through to the 1990s. More recently, the US has seen the re-emergence of new approaches to technology assessment. The example of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society in the 2000s through to the present is discussed, including the approach of Real-Time Technology Assessment. Comparisons and contrasts are offered of the conventional and new distributed approaches, with a review of the strengths and weaknesses of each and consideration of the broader insights arising from these cases.
