What sector of the population will be most seriously affected by a given technology and when? If the technology is one that can be generalized over the entire society, then it will probably have an impact on everyone but if it has localized application, then what form of effect ill exist and for whom? Historically, any example that deals with a technology being localized for some reason would suffice to demonstrate the necessity of studying this issue. In the ancient world, about the time of the rise of the Mesopotamian city states such as Ur and Lagash in the fertile crescent, it was the technological innovation of agriculture that created cities where trade took place. City states arose around the farmlands of the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, and because of the availability of water transportation (another example of technology), they were able to grow prosperous and powerful. Thus, the citizens of these areas were most greatly affected by the introduction of the agricultural technology, though tribal peoples from along the rivers were involved in the trade that resulted from the sedentary life style the agricultural people practiced. A more contemporary example is the age of "king cotton" in the southern United States. With the cotton gin, cotton manufacture became cheap and profitable. By technologically solving the problem of how to comb the seeds from the cotton fiber rapidly and cheaply, the desirability of cotton as a crop rose dramatically, and there was a thriving market for those goods in England, where the textile industry depended on cotton and wool for its livelihood. The people most directly affected by the technology were those in a position to take advantage of it, that is, the Southern states, where the climate was perfect for growing cotton and where the employment of slave labor was productive enough to be profitable. These conditions did not exist in the North, and, as a result, people living there were relatively untouched by either the cotton industry or the slave labor method of operation, since Northern industry depended on different inputs to create goods and services. Eventually, the schism in social systems represented by the localized nature of the cotton industry technology led to the Civil War and the end of an era. After years of political and economic dominance by an agricultural South, the nation was dominated by a more efficient and more productive North, where, it should be noted, there was a technological advantage in manufacturing industries because of the abundance of raw materials and transportation. Whom a technology affects is as important as how. This can lead to moral questions as well. What of the wonder drugs that could be manufactured or developed but are not because the number of patients requiring them is too small to warrant the costs? What of the ability to save lives through expensive operations such as heart transplants or mechanical hearts? Who receives them and who does not? Who pays for them? Are there too few people affected to warrant continuing that technology? These are some of the questions that arise in considering this aspect of technological development.

Wang 40 by.CNN

NEW YORK (AP) -- Always unflappable, Chien-Ming Wang was nearly unhittable Saturday. Perfect, in fact, before one misplaced changeup.
Wang carried his bid for a perfect game into the eighth inning before Ben Broussard hit the only changeup he threw all day for a one-out homer, and the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 8-1.
Catcher Jorge Posada knew the changeup was in trouble from the start.
"As soon as he threw it," Posada said, "I was just hoping the guy didn't swing at it."
Facing a Mariners team that got season highs of 15 runs and 20 hits the previous night, Wang (1-2) was in control the whole way. Seattle struggled to do anything with Wang's heavy sinker, one of the best pitches in the majors.
One simple changeup did him in.
Wang said he left the ball "high."
He got Richie Sexson to roll back to him for the first out of the eighth, but Broussard followed with a home run to right-center field.
"It'd feel better if we had won," Broussard said. "But, definitely, I think everybody's a competitor. Nobody wants to get no-hit. I think everybody was going up just trying to have a good at-bat, maybe see some pitches and see what happens."
The Yankee Stadium crowd saluted Wang with a long, standing ovation. The right-hander from Taiwan stood behind the mound for a moment with his hat off, briefly clenched his jaw and wiped sweat from his brow. Posada went to the mound to talk to him.
Jose Guillen was up next, and he singled. Kenji Johjima then bounced into a double play to end the inning. Wang walked slowly to the dugout as some of his teammates ran past him, giving him a pat on the back on their way to the bench.
"You're disappointed, naturally," shortstop Derek Jeter said. "You're disappointed for him because you don't know when you're going to get the opportunity again."
Wang was trying for the 16th perfect game since 1900, including Don Larsen's gem for the Yankees in the 1956 World Series.
The last two perfect games in the AL have occurred at Yankee Stadium, by New York's David Cone (1999) and David Wells (1998). Larsen also pitched his at the ballpark.
Randy Johnson has the last perfect game in the majors, for Arizona at Atlanta on May 18, 2004.
Brian Bruney took over for Wang to begin the ninth and finished off the two-hitter.
On Tuesday night, Yankees rookie Phil Hughes took a no-hitter into the seventh inning at Texas, but was forced to leave because of a hamstring injury.
If Wang was at all fazed by the growing tension in the Bronx, he didn't show it. After the seventh inning, he sat all by himself at the far end of the dugout with a white towel draped over his right shoulder.
"He's really calm," Posada said. "Nothing really fazes him. He's our No. 1. We need him every five days."
This was certainly an unlikely situation for a perfect game. Wang, who finished second in the AL Cy Young voting last year, went on the disabled list in spring training with a strained right hamstring and struggled in his first two starts of the season.
"First two starts, I felt not so strong," Wang said.
He cruised through the first two innings, striking out two in the second. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez backhanded Jose Lopez's hard one-hopper and threw him out to end the third.
Rodriguez also made a great play to retire Lopez for the final out of the sixth. He charged a slow roller up the line and made a strong throw to nip Lopez at first as the crowd roared.
"He threw the ball so well today," Rodriguez said. "It was exciting. I don't get to appreciate how well his ball moves from where I play. I'm just consumed with the thought that I'm going to be busy."
Ichiro Suzuki hit a grounder off Wang's left shin in the fourth but the right-hander threw him out at first. The trainer came out to check on him but Wang was fine.
Suzuki led off the seventh with a deep drive into the gap, but left fielder Hideki Matsui caught it on the run.
"He wasn't leaving a whole lot over the middle of the plate," said Willie Bloomquist, who went 0-for-3 against Wang. "It's deceptive because when you're up there it looks like it's going to be down the heart of the plate but then that late movement kind of gets in on you, or jams you a little bit, or makes you hit it off the end."
New York broke open the game in the sixth when Jeff Weaver (0-5) started struggling with his control. Weaver, a former Yankee, hit Matsui with a pitch with the bases loaded and also walked Melky Cabrera to force in another run.
Posada also had a run-scoring single and Jeter a two-run double in the five-run inning.
Weaver, who recorded just one out in his previous start, went 5 2-3 innings against the Yankees, allowing six runs and nine hits. He has given up 29 runs and 40 hits in 17 innings over five starts this season.
"He threw the ball well," said Mariners manager Mike Hargrove, who added Weaver will take his next turn in the rotation. "If he throws like that the rest of the year we're going to be all right."
Notes: Rodriguez was hit on his left elbow by a pitch in the seventh inning. He said he hopes he'll be able to play Sunday. ... Yankees CF Johnny Damon didn't play after his right calf cramped up during his last at-bat in Seattle's 15-11 win Friday night. He is day to day. ... Yankees RHP Darrell Rasner was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and RHP Colter Bean was sent down. Rasner will start against the Mariners on Sunday. ... Mariners 3B Adrian Beltre and DH Jose Vidro got the day off.

An unforgettable festival

Almost everyone has an unforgettable day during their lifetime and I am no exception. The most memorable experience in my life happened on my 20th birthday.A month before my 20th birthday, I was complaining to my sister about not having any new sweaters, so I asked her for one, but she told me, “Sorry, I don’t have any spare money to buy you a new sweater.” I was very disappointed when she said that, so I continued to wear my old sweater. A month later, it was my birthday. I remembered it was very cold that day. When I returned home after school, I saw that my sister gave me a very big gift. I opened the gift box and was shocked to see a sweater inside. The sweater had my name sewn in the center and my favorite graphics were also sewn in a circle around my name. When I saw the gift, it brought tears to my eyes, because it was specially made for me. During that night, I kept holding the sweater while I fell asleep. My dear sister was so sweet and kind to me. I could never forget that moment when I was emotionally moved by my sister’s thoughtfulness.
