Technology and Democracy… You Can't Get There from Here [Wide Angle]

This publication, IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, look at “the social implications of technology.” It is an example of what most professional journals do: they look outward to understand the wider world of which electronics and electrical engineers are a part. It is my belief that Technology and Society should also include the perspectives of non-engineers, looking back at the profession. It should challenge engineering assumptions with other perspectives, running in parallel or even orthogonal to IEEE, and this is what I will try to do in this occasional column.
