The journal Technology in Society has been brilliantly split into several interdisciplinary
areas that go as follows:
Technology assessment - is the study and evaluation of new technologies
Management of technology - management disciplines that allows organizations to manage their technological fundamentals to create competitive advantage.
Technology and policy - nurturing those capabilities and optimizing their applications in the service of national goals and interests
The economics of technology - overall process of invention, innovation and diffusion of technology or processes
Technology transfer - the transfer of technology from the originator to a secondary user
Appropriate technology - that people can manage it directly and on a local level
Economic development - the various technological changes contribute significantly in the development of the economy
Ethical and value implications of science and technology - too definitions, but pretty much new ethical and regulatory challenges
Technology forecasting - attempts to predict the future characteristics of useful technological machines, procedures or techniques

Hi Dorinda. I never thought of searching for the titles of these assignments on Wikipedia. However, I certainly appreciate that you did and decided to share interdisciplinary split with us. This should prove to be very helpful in working through Assignment 3.
