Scenario
Zell Labs has a running contract with the U.S. Government to assess the effects that new technologies might have on our society. You are a social scientist working for the prominent Zell Labs and have been assigned as the head of the Emerging Technology Task Force (ETTF). Your primary function is to identify emerging technologies that your company can research and provide findings to the U.S. Office of Science and Technology.
