In addition to their visual qualities, Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER and Denis Villeneuve’s BLADE RUNNER 2049 present a profound reflection on what it means to be human under the conditions of high-tech, late capitalist information societies. The fictional scenario serves as a thought experiment: it provokes the question of what remains of being human if all traditional and modern concepts are no longer applicable. The book provides comprehensive explanations of the philosophical content and references, an analysis of their visual realization, and their background in the history of thought. It is thus also an answer to the question of whether it is possible to philosophize with films.

The main stages of formation of endoscopic surgery are analyzed in chronological sequence. It is shown that the development of surgical technologies at the end of 20th century was due to the fruitful work of individual surgeons, who, in close cooperation with engineers, "broke" the classic vision of the development of surgery of their colleagues. Their talent and persistence in the introduction of new therapies tended to reduce the traumaticity of the various methods of diagnosis and treatment and made it possible to perform high-tech surgeries with a high level of rehabilitation. Since 1992, endoscopic techniques have become widely used in hospitals in different cities of Ukraine and in 1996 were introduced in Bukovyna. Bukovynian surgeons continue to improve the methods of endoscopic treatment of patients, keeping in mind that this is the key to the progress of treatment and the prevention of intra - and postoperative complications.

This chapter underscores the importance of timing by focusing on the effect of pre-existing standards and regulations on the innovation and diffusion of new high-tech product innovations. The effect is assessed in terms of the time interval between the invention of a technological principle and the introduction of the first marketable product (development phase), and the successive time interval up to the start of large-scale industrial production and diffusion (adaptation phase). Fifty heterogeneous cases of new high-tech product innovations from 1850 onward are analysed. Results indicate that pre-existing standards and regulations significantly shorten the adaptation phase, an effect not found for the development phase. The shortening effect on the adaptation phase is particularly evident for more radical innovations and for innovations that are more interrelated with a larger technological system. This accelerating effect on the diffusion of innovations is highly relevant for innovation managers and policy makers alike.

A vital question with regard to the future is how we deal with human futures. While high-tech futures are of interest to some futurists, many futures scholars are focused on the potential social, cultural, and environmental impacts of rapid unprecedented change, including exponential technological developments. ‘Technotopian or human-centred futures?’ describes two contrasting approaches to human futures and their inherent values and ethics: ‘human-centred futures’, which is humanitarian, philosophical, and ecological; and ‘technotopian futures’, which is dehumanizing, scientistic, and atomistic. It also considers the history of the struggle between these two approaches, which has been waged since at least the European Enlightenment, and still challenges us today.

Special Learning Needs

This chapter reviews some of the low-tech as well as the high-tech devices available for a wide variety of students with special learning needs. A history of assistive technology devices is explored and defined. Assistive technology has increased in use in recent decades due to accessibility of computers and the digital age. Digital devices such as hand held scanners, online learning environments, and digital resources have changed the educational experiences for students with special needs and disabilities. In response, teacher in-service programs and ongoing professional development programs need to be involved to understand and develop appropriate 21st-century learning opportunities and curricula. Future trends, such as virtual reality (VR) environments, allow opportunities for safe, effective learning. To assist in understanding and choosing the appropriate devices, multiple resources, such as global and national organizations, and online resources are provided.
