Question
Chapter 1, Problem 14RQ
To determine
The individual that uses the technology and is responsible for the way of applying technology.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 14RQ
Humans are responsible for the use of technology in various industries, for household purposes and many more.
Explanation of Solution
Technology is used by humans, and only humans should be responsible for the application of technology. Extraction of fossil fuel and its use for various purposes, such as in industries, automobiles and many more, is carried out by humans.
Thus, humans are the end-users of technology. Various products manufactured by the industries are put to the service of mankind. Hence, the humans are responsible for how the technology is applied.
Conclusion:
Humans are responsible for the use of technology and also for the ways in which it is being used.
