How do technological artifacts affect the way that you live?

Answer:

Artefacts can influence our actions in several ways. They can be instruments, enabling and facilitating actions, where their presence affects the number and quality of the options for action available to us. They can also influence our actions in a morally more salient way, where their presence changes the likelihood that we will actually perform certain actions. Both kinds of influences are closely related, yet accounts of how they work have been developed largely independently, within different conceptual frameworks and for different purposes. In this paper I account for both kinds of influences within a single framework. Specifically, I develop a descriptive account of how the presence of artefacts affects what we actually do, which is based on a framework commonly used for normative investigations into how the presence of artefacts affects what we can do. This account describes the influence of artefacts on what we actually do in terms of the way facts about those artefacts alter our reasons for action. In developing this account, I will build on Dancy’s (2000a) account of practical reasoning. I will compare my account with two alternatives, those of Latour and Verbeek, and show how my account suggests a specification of their respective key concepts of prescription and invitation. Furthermore, I argue that my account helps us in analysing why the presence of artefacts sometimes fails to influence our actions, contrary to designer expectations or intentions.

When it comes to affecting human actions, it seems artefacts can play two roles. In their first role they can enable or facilitate human actions. Here, the presence of artefacts changes the number and quality of the options for action available to us.Footnote1 For example, their presence makes it possible for us to do things that we would not otherwise be able to do, and thereby adopt new goals, or helps us to do things we would otherwise be able to do, but in more time, with greater effort, etc

Explanation:

Technological artifacts are in general characterized narrowly as material objects made by (human) agents as means to achieve practical ends. ... Unintended by-products of making (e.g. sawdust) or of experiments (e.g. false positives in medical diagnostic tests) are not artifacts for Hilpinen.

Tech A says that in some cases, the electronic brake control module can be programmed with a new tire size to restore proper ele
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Both Techs A and B

Explanation:

Electronic braking systems are controlled by the electronic brake control module. It is a microprocessor that processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding  and activates the anti lock braking system or traction system when it detects it is necessary.

Some electronic brake control modules can be programmed to the size of the vehicle's new tires to restore proper electronic brake control performance. While others may require replacing the module to match the module's programming to the installed tire size. So, both technicians A and B are correct.

A continuous random variable, X, whose probability density function is given by f(x) = ( λe−λx , if x ≥ 0 0, otherwise is said t
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

b) P(10 < X

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution".

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that X\sim Exp(\lambda)

And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x\geq 0

In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:

F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

Part b

Assuming that X \sim Exp(\lambda =0.1), then the density function is given by:

f(x) = 0.1 e^{-0.1 x} dx , x\geq 0

And for this case we want this probability:

P(10 < X

And evaluating the integral we got:

P(10 < X

Fictional Corp is looking at solutions for their new CRM system for the sales department. The IT staff already has a fairly heav
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

SaaS

Explanation:

Software as a service (SaaS) is also called software on demand, it involves a third party that centrally hosts the software and provides it to the end user.

All aspects of hosting is handled by the third party: application, data, runtime, middleware, operating system, server, virtualization, storage and networking are all handled by the provider.

This is an ideal software service for Fictional corp, as there will be no need to hire additional IT staff to maintain the new CRM software.

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.
