For Friday

First, one more time: you just need to read What Do People Do All Day? for Friday - we'll start on the Hawthorne for next week.

Second: if you're writing a post for Friday, you can either go ahead and use the Richard Scarry option (the first one I offered), or the following:

Option 2 for Group 2: Remember our discussion of the passage on page 14 from Joy, where he argues that technology needs to have appropriate goals, determined by some form of consensus. Using details from Joy, you want to do one of the following.

a) If you agree with Joy, you should both explain what specific goals you would like to see in the future and how they would prevent at least one particular problem (with GNR technologies) which he envisions.

b) If you disagree with Joy, you should both explain why and present a coherent argument for why his style of goal-driven technological development is not desirable for some particular GNR technology.

Regardless of what view you take, you should pursue a particular argument and show good understanding of Joy's essay.
