2. The book: The thinking pill and other
technologies that change your life
Our life in twenty years
- Life science and Medical Technology
- Sustainable technologies
- Communication
Questions?
- Fundamental barriers
- Solutions and resulting technologies
- Impact society
3. Limits to man (summary)
• Is there a limit to age?
- technology to support the elder
• Man-made molecular life; self replicating robots?
- man’s release of boring tasks
• Intelligent computers?
- solution to data-explosion
- human embedded computational
intelligence ,replacement of human
intelligence?
- man’s responsibility for decision making,
free-will?

6. Copenhagen consensus 2004
10 challenges facing humanity
- climate change
- communicable diseases
- conflicts and arm prolifiration
- access to education
- financial instability
- gouvernance and corruption
- malnutrition and hunger
- migration
- sanitation and access to clean water
- subsidies and trade barriers
From B. Lomborg, Global crises, global solutions; Cambridge 2004
7. Brundland (1987):
Sustainable development is a social development,
which fulfills the need of present generations without
endangering the possibilities of fulfillment of the needs
of future generations
9. Society ideologies determine definition of society challenges
Progress through technology Power through technology
10. Technology - Science - Art

Rohe,
1921 Bauhaus
11. Schumpeters conjuctuurcycli: 1 is de Kondratieff-cyclus;
2 is de Juglar-cyclus; 3 is de Kitchin-cyclus; 4 is de
resulterende samengestelde cyclus.
12. Complex phenomena:
Emergence of new phenomena as a function of scale parameter
Example:
Physics of river current with increasing stream velocity,
slow stream small waves eddy’s turbulence
Emotion
No sound musical sound thunder
13. Sustainable society (1)
- “The finite earth” (motto)
1. Rigid energy supply; centralized versus decentralized
distribution
2. Sense or nonsense of
biodiesel; food versus energy - bio diversity
3. A nuclear future?; threads - challenges politics
4. Fossil future; new clean or alternative technologies
14. Sustainable society (2)
- “The finite earth” (motto)
5. The ideal factory; small, modular, efficient catalysis design
6. A world without hunger; watermanegement, sustainable agriculture;
logistics
7. Life on a vulcano; sensors, communication, organization
8. A world wide balance; material cycles, extra terrestial life
15. Sustainability concerns the continuation of our
current human civilization
Living system(selforganization outside equilibrium)
has to produce entropy(waste)
Evolutionary dynamics (as in biological ecology) is
also characteristic for human forms of civilization
Key is adaptation through technological and social
Innovation
Technology gives solutions as well as problems
18. Ecological adaptation
Type I: colonization
Primary concern growth. Exhaustion of
environment is secundary
- grass hoppers destr.: plants in the desert
- archeological processes (iron, copper)
- first industrial revolution
19. Ecological adaptation
Type II: consolidation
Primary concern survival (draught, cold)
- root-stem formation
- industrialization with attention for primary
environmental effects. Substitution of natural
products, selective catalysis
20. Ecological adaptation
Type III: Sustainable, self supporting, “zero”
(minimum) emission system, adaptive,
selfrepair
- Tropical rain forest. Specialization of
functions, interdependance
- Sustainable human society; complex interaction
of human artefacts with industrial production:
intelligent systems
21. Example: soda process
• until 1750; …………….from seaweed
• 1780 Le Blanc process: raw materials: salt, sulphuric acid, coal,
calcium carbonate
product: hydrogensulphide (detrimental
to environment) and soda
• 1870 Solvay process: …ammonia, carbondioxide and salt gives
soda and Cl2
23. Figure 1 | Inequality in economic growth. a, Although gross world product and the value of exports
throughout the world rose steadily during the period 1981–2001 (values relative to 1990 = 100), the
number living below the US$2 per day poverty line has increased slightly. b, Whereas in 1820 the
difference between the mean incomes of the poorest 60% of countries and of the richest 10% was
fourfold, by 1992 the disparity was tenfold (value of mean income of poorest countries in 1820 = 1)

24. Utopia
Human Extended healthy life
- well being
Society Peaceful coexistance
- culture
- wealth
Earth Sustainable future
- natural resources
- adaptation
Space Exploration
- non-terrestial life?
- resources?
- threads
38. Sustainable society
Scientific issue - Stability analysis of complex systems (climate;
stability rainforest);
network theory
- Frictionless conversion of energy to motion;
efficient primary to secundary energy
conversion
(molecular systems; precision engineering)
-From craddle to cradle, nonemission society;
recycle
39. Outcome of the book:
- Technology is a necessity to maintain human civilization
- The challenge to technology is to create predictable
behaviour of complex systems
- The challenge to science is to understand the interacting
networks and building blocks that lead to the multiscale
phenomena of natural world and universe
- Technological innovation through organizational adaptation
is also a necessity to maintain human civilization.
V. Kandinsky, Blue Segment 1921
