Renewable energy is one primary example of a technological fix, as it has been designed to combat the issues associated with climate change. A technological fix, technical fix, technological shortcut or (techno-)solutionism is an attempt to use engineering or technology to solve a problem (often created by earlier technological interventions).
A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.
Pronounced "A-star". A graph traversal and pathfinding algorithm which is used in many fields of computer science due to its completeness, optimality, and optimal efficiency. abductive logic programming (ALP) A high-level knowledge-representation framework that can be used to solve problems declaratively based on abductive reasoning. It extends normal logic programming by allowing some ...
Technocentrism is a value system that is centered on technology and its ability to control and protect the environment. [citation needed] Technocentrics argue that technology can address ecological problems through its problem-solving ability, efficiency, and its managerial means. [1]
Neo-Luddism or new Luddism is a philosophy opposing many forms of modern technology. [1] The term Luddite is generally used as a pejorative applied to people showing technophobic leanings. [2] The name is based on the historical legacy of the English Luddites, who were active between 1811 and 1817. [1]
Another view outlines a phased approach to the process. This approach breaks system analysis into 5 phases: Scope Definition: Clearly defined objectives and requirements necessary to meet a project's requirements as defined by its stakeholders; Problem analysis: the process of understanding problems and needs and arriving at solutions that meet ...
This approach is designed to 1) engage the learner with a problem or series of related problems, 2) require the learner to develop goals and discover subgoals related to solving the problem(s), and 3) provide the learner with extensive and diverse opportunities to explore the problem(s) in a shared context with classmates.
Problem-Oriented Development is an emerging paradigm of computing that emphasises problems (as opposed to requirements) as the primary subject of scrutiny by software engineers. As such, Problem-Oriented Development is concerned with: Investigating the structure of organisational problems as addressed by Software Engineering;
