Butter and Basil

for @schittscreekdrabblechallenge

Stevie roasts bread on a fire, covers it in butter and basil, and serves it to the group.  "Stevie!" Ruth smiles up at her. "Is there anything you can't do?"  Stevie flushes under the praise.  "Stevie, thank you." Patrick pours out the wine and serves it to Stevie and Ruth. Both women just stare back.  "Do Princes pour wine for servants in Button?" Ruth asks innocently.  "I know we haven't known each other long, but I hope we can be friends."  "I'll need an advisor in Button, Stevie." David twists his rings.  "Me?" Ruth asks.  "Help me build a hothouse?"

Investigating the past to see technology’s future

Investigating the past to see technology’s future

The MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) recently organized and hosted a two-day symposium, The History of Technology: Past, Present, and Future.

The symposium was held June 7-8 at MIT’s Wong Auditorium, and featured scholars from a variety of institutions with expertise in the history of technology. Each presented their ideas about the intersection of science, technology, and society, the field’s needs, and opportunities for its future development.

“We’re pleased to provide a venue in which these kinds of conversations can occur,” said Deborah Fitzgerald, STS program head and former dean of MIT’s School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.

The symposium opened with welcoming remarks from Fitzgerald and MIT Professor Merritt Roe Smith. Fitzgerald and Smith are both Leverett Howell and William King Cutten Professors of the History of Technology at MIT.

“These kinds of gatherings — of old friends and colleagues and several generations of students — create new opportunities to advance scholarship, create connections, and keep abreast of what’s happening in the field,” Smith said. “Seeing the future through the lens of our shared pasts adds an important perspective on current innovations.”

More than 20 scholars made presentations during the symposium. The topics and speakers included:

David Lucsko PhD ’05, professor of history at Auburn University: “How Things Work and Why It Matters — or, Why Poring over Automotive Wiring Diagrams from the 1970s Isn’t Actually a Colossal Waste of Time;”

Dave Unger, an independent public historian: “Tools for Imagining a Better World: Social Technology, Organizational Dark Matter, and Reading for Difference;”

Gregory Clancey, associate professor at the National University of Singapore: “The History of Technology in an Age of Mass Extinction;” and 

Ruth Schwartz Cowan, professor emerita at the University of Pennsylvania: “Does the History of Technology have a Paradigm?”

Dijon

for @schittscreekdrabblechallenge

"Don't be a disgruntled pelican. You're eating yours…" "This isn't the same as Aubergine's, Ruth. It's Dijon. It's milder…" Patrick tries. "Try it with the pear. It kind of elevates it a bit. Gives it a little kick." David urges on. Ruth takes a tentative taste. "It's not bad." "Look at us! Trying new things!" David nibbles the blue cheese. "Just wait until you try mutton." Patrick teases. "Mutton?" David scrunches his nose. "Sheep…" Stevie offers. "No thank you." "David, it's Button's national dish." Patrick sighs. "What have I gotten myself into?" David wines. "I'll make it up to you…"

Teal (bumblebee)

for @schittscreekdrabblechallenge

The water of the creek is almost teal. In the creek, there are lilies. Bumblebees are dancing on the bank of the creek. Ruth takes a big breath and breathes in the peace. Stevie is not shy, and dives into the creek. The creek is the border to the neighboring realm. Once they cross the creek, she'll be further from her past. Ruth dips her feet in the water. Despite the summer, the water is cold. Maybe the creek feeds snow from the mountains? Button is just past the mountains. Maybe if she's lucky home is just past the mountains.

Canary

for @schittscreekdrabblechallenge

The carriage comes to a stop and Stevie jostles up. "Oh, sorry." Somehow she ended up on Ruth's lap, and now Ruth is wearing the biggest grin she's ever seen.  "It's okay."  "What?" Stevie wipes off her chin just in case.  Ruth's grin only grows.  "Seriously, you look like the cat that ate the canary."  Ruth raises an eyebrow.  "Like Alouette?" Stevie tries  "Chidori?" Ruth asks.  "Yeah...they are little yellow birds um...kiiroi?" "Your Japanese is getting better." "Thanks. We've stopped at a creek.  Do you want a dip?"  "I could use a cold bath..."
