Diffusion of Technology in Society
Essay title: Diffusion of Technology in Society
Successful and Inappropriate Diffusion
In Thermador
The Thermadorian society had been isolated from the world for hundreds
of years. The successful diffusion of farming technology failed for a
number of reasons. Based on our information, there were several
components missing. Components such as no research or plans to sustain a
long-term solution to the problem. The United Nations presented modern
farming technology not taking into consideration the educational level of the
society in a modern world.
Technology changes society, however it is gradual and consistent. It
could be assumed that the Thermadorians had no concept of the change
and had no understanding of the role of the technology provided.
The United Nations provided the Thermadorians with tractors and other
heavy vehicles to assist the farmers in the planting of the seeds and harvesting
crops. It appears the United Nations did not research or even attempt to
understand the Thermadorian culture, customs, or addressing their economy
or governmental structure.
There is no information on the social status and who had control of the
land. Did the would-be farmers have standing in their societal structure?
Were they poor/rich? Small farms as opposed to large? Nothing is noted so
assuming they are simple people with little education and no experience
relating to the farming technology provided. No representative living
amongst the Thermadorians. Without taking into consideration their
customs, culture and simply not conducting proper research, the introduction
of the farming technology was an inappropriate diffusion of technology.
The United Nations did not take into consideration the educational level
of the Thermadorians. They did not provide them with instruction or had
an advisor staying with the society to educate them. No fuel resources were
established, no repair solutions or even concepts relating to farming
techniques.
The Thermadorian Lands are already fertile and they obtain the
nourishment from a natural growing food supplier. Once the farming
technology is introduced, that will all change with no education provided on
how to fertilize the land or protect the crops against disease and pests.
In order to have successful diffusion in Thermador, there needs to be an
understanding of the society and needs to go beyond just addressing
