What is most concerning about Watson is his complete naivety about the potential dangers of interjecting new genetic sequences into living beings. This is probably one of the biggest ethical issues ever faced in science, and Watson can’t be bothered with that. He sees no downsides on making people better looking, and smarter. He balks at people who are reserved about taking evolution into our own hands and says, “Hey, what’s the big deal?” It sounds pretty good at first, until you realize taking our evolution into our own hands, imperfect, human hands, may not be the dream come true Watson is selling it to be. What exactly are we dealing with as we broach this new world of genetic engineering?
Can the same be said for a dream? Humans have an imperfection of never being completely satisfied, “Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get (W.P. Kinsella),” we always seem to want more, and that’s just human nature. We strive for one goal, but once we accomplish it, it’s not enough, we need more, and we need to reach higher. Fortunately this is a really good thing; this pushes society and keeps us moving forward.
We must put some money into research & development in order to leverage this strength for improved quality, by encouraging innovation and implementing innovations to continuously improve both our products and our processes. Nobody ever won a race by standing still – even the tortoise was moving – and we aren't going to try to do that, either. Our R&D will emphasize statistical process control, which seeks to eliminate defects and improve performance (ASQ, 2014). A continuous improvement program will help us to identify areas where we can improve, develop techniques for that improvement and then test the effectiveness of those techniques. The continuous improvement plan should constantly sight facts, information and on sight analysis to determine why inefficient conditions exist.
This process is essential because subsequent steps in the process of planning for achievement of the selected objective may be derived from the SWOTs. Marketing Strategies One of the first steps in the consideration of new product development and penetration of new product development is to analyze the market opportunity. Basically, we need to find out whether or not this venture is worth it. Our engineering team will need to determine the technical feasibility of the product idea. Once this is complete, our marketing team will need to determine the idea’s prospects in the marketplace.
| Evaluation questions are raised about the resources that will be used to develop and conduct the innovation/program. What people, funds, space and equipment will be available for the project ? Will these be sufficient to produce the desired results? | This correspond closelyTo formative evaluation. Process evaluation is used to examine the ways in which an innovation program is being develop, the way it is implemented, and the initial effectiveness, and effectiveness after revisions.
The new product may be able to use current technologies or a new technology may be presented and the new product is the outcome. The new product may offer a radically new way of doing something it may simply be an existing theme. For example, David Packard created an information processing and scientific instrumentation empire. Hewlett Packard is based on the advanced knowledge obtained from scientific developments.
This proceeds with the question; what advancements are moral? I believe that any science, innovation, study, or sort of exploration must be morally just, intended to better our understanding of the world, and be created with intention to improve any part of society. For example, the formation of the first rocket ship was monumental in bringing exploration to the new frontier and impacted our society for the better. Therefore this invention would be considered moral and for positive advancement. On the contrary, the scientific creation of something such as the nuclear bomb could be considered scientific expansion for the worse as it can provide horrible outcomes and is lethal if put in the wrong hands; thus classified as

In the article Against Nostalgia, by Mike Daisey, Steve Jobs is first portrayed as a genius that is against nostalgia and was determined to keep making innovations and coming up with new technology. Towards the end, it makes Jobs seem like he has a thirst for power and make his company larger. Like Macbeth, he would stop at nothing to reach the top. Macbeth went to the extreme of killing, or hiring someone to kill, everyone before him in line for the throne. Steve Jobs is known for “killing the baby,” or cutting loose anything unnecessary in his technology and coming up with new things.
That before we know it our appliances will be smarter than us one day and that’s not how man intended life to be; humans are supposed to be on top. Not being able to use today’s technology rings in Barry’s purpose. Technology has gone wild and he makes it very clear with several examples. His ability to discredit these technologic advances brings credit to his point. One can always refute anything they’d like, but to be effective, one needs to have appropriate facts for back-up and a dominating style that brings it all together.
