Title:
Wording:
The task is to find and visit an industry in your area that either already makes products that can be used to improve the lives of The Poor or could be transformed into producing such products, and to discuss what it would take to make such a change.

Introduction:
See also the introduction to the previous task 9.<br /> <br /> It is truly amazing how simple technologies can make a huge difference. Just<br /> imagine how a small solar panel can provide electricity to even the most remote<br /> area, or a wind-up radio makes it possible to broadcast educational programs to<br /> areas with no electricity.<br /> <br /> A lot of technologies are developed in the rich part of the world. Universities have<br /> research departments for both basic and specific research, which usually takes place<br /> in cooperation between the universities and the business world.<br /> <br /> Space research develops many new technologies, and even though they are<br /> developed for travel in space, there are often ways these technologies can improve<br /> our lives in surprising ways.<br /> <br /> Some research is done by governments, but the major part is done by private<br /> corporations, and is research specifically targeting a request. Since the corporate<br /> world is in it for the profit, the requests are not taking their point of departure in the<br /> needs of people unless it is raising profits and competitiveness.<br /> <br /> For example, research into how to make sure a light bulb needs to be changed every<br /> 6 months. Or conserving food that gives it a shelve life of 300 days, but tampers<br /> with our health.<br /> <br /> Competition drives research in new technologies at a speed never seen before in<br /> history. Just think of mobile phones and computers and how new features are<br /> constantly added so you need to buy a new model every other year.<br /> <br /> But there are also many examples of groundbreaking research into ways to improve<br /> life for mankind. For example the Canadian architect William McDonough and the<br /> German chemist Michael Braungart, who together developed the concept “Cradle to<br /> Cradle”. This is a design that has as its starting point that products should be<br /> designed for a new birth – and not for “the grave”. ( www.mcdonough.com ). It is<br /> about creating closed loops and maximizing the value of materials without<br /> damaging the ecosystem. Economy, equity, and ecology have equal weight.<br /> <br /> In this task you will look into existing technologies and research into new<br /> technologies and extract examples of technologies that can improve the life of The<br /> Poor.
Directive:
1. Determine the industry you want to visit, make the arrangements and set up your<br /> questions.<br /> <br /> 2. Carry out the visit, get answers to your questions, and discuss with them what it<br /> would take to transform the industry so that it could have an impact on<br /> improving lives of The Poor.<br /> <br /> 3. Write a report on the visit and your conclusions on the usefulness of the products<br /> produced, and the possibility of transforming existing industrial production into<br /> more useful products.
