{"product_id":"the-technological-fix-lisa-rosner-9780415947114","title":"The Technological Fix: How People Use Technology to Create and Solve Problems","description":"The term \"technological fix\" should mean a fix provided by technology--a solution for all of our problems, from medicine and food production to the environment and business. Instead, technological fix has come to mean a cheap, quick fix using inappropriate technology that usually creates more problems than it solves. This collection sets out the distinction between a technological fix and a true technological solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together scholars from a variety of disciplines, the essays trace the technological fix as it has appeared throughout the twentieth century. Addressing such \"fixes\" as artificial hearts, industrial agriculture and climate engineering, these essays examine our need to turn to technology for solutions to all of our problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Rosner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415947111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415947114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Lisa Rosner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153022791935,"sku":"9780415947114","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_676310b3-deb8-4084-a5b2-505e4bced3a6.jpg?v=1770780755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-technological-fix-lisa-rosner-9780415947114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
