Question

Role of free flow of correct information in local governance

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the dawn of the Industrial Age, our societies have seen a continual, incremental flow of more and more complex technologies and new practices involving human-technology  interaction. When looking at the development of these technologies, one begins to notice that  the innovations are reflected first in the general knowledge that influences product design and  production, which is then spread within the society by specialized companies. It is rare indeed  when a new innovation, perhaps products such as cellular cameras or mobile TVs, takes the   general audience by storm or is spontaneously produced in final form. For the most part, new  ideas result in small changes: progress that the average person hardly notices. Perhaps the  innovations reflect changes in the knowledge of ergonomics, or about the emotional impact of  a design. Ultimately, much of what happens in improving human-machine interaction is  completely unknown to the user.

This same reality can be found in the knowledge generation needed for conceiving and  developing technical innovations. New or expanded knowledge can often be outside the gaze  of designers and engineers. Sometimes this is because they have no need to be aware of the  mathematics, physics, or material knowledge required, for instance, to create a quality lens for  a camera phone. The usefulness embedded within a particular knowledge is often considered  meaningless unless one is a specialist addressing particular problems. Those addressing other                                       problems may easily underestimate the necessity of basic scientific knowledge derived from   investigating human-device interaction.
