We finished the course yesterday by spending the last 45 minutes on a "<a href="http://danielpargman.blogspot.se/2011/12/gripe-session-vs-course.html">gripe session</a>" (≈course evaluation). I'm happy so many turned up for the summary/wrap-up despite the fact that you could have stayed home and worked on the home exam.<br />
<br />
It seemed several persons were unhappy with the (short) deadline for the home exam and would have wanted to have longer time. Despite my personal doubts, I couldn't really hear anyone who thought it was good to have 3, rather than say 5 or 7 days to write the home exam. So perhaps my personal doubts were wrong.<br />
<br />
Fortunately this can easily be amended so <b>I hereby extend the deadline</b> for handling in the home exam <b>until Tuesday Oct 16 at 19.00</b> - also proving that it was a wise investment of your time to show up at the summary/wrap-up yesterday (yes, I'm talking about you Pedro!).<br />
<br />
Do note that this does not necessarily mean that you should spend more time (absolute hours) on the exam, but the time you spend will be more spaced out.<br />
<br />
This should also partially fix the problem of some people wanting the the home exam to actually lie in the exam period/week, rather than the week preceding the exam period.<br />
<br />
Also note that you can post questions about the exam in the form a comment to this blog posts. There were a few questions about how to interpret the home exam questions yesterday, but they for some reasons only turned up during the break.<br />

There was supposed to be a lecture about "social sustainability" tomorrow. That lecture is hereby cancelled. Another lecturer was supposed to give it, but he couldn't make it and so it fell on me to give "his" lecture.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately and due to <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crunch%20mode">high work load</a> in this and my other course, I have not been able to prepare adequately and will therefor unfortunately have to cancel tomorrow's lecture (lecture 11).<br />
<br />
We will instead meet at the seminars on Thursday and Friday (groups A/B tomorrow after lunch and groups C/D on Friday after lunch).<br />

<b>Talk</b>: Course participants have been presented with a variety of images of the future. The very last lecture won't be a lecture at all, but rather a discussion between invited guests who are expected to have widely differing ideas and opinions about the future and about the future of sustainability. Can we imagine a future sustainable society? What would it look like? What are our chances and what is our best course of action in attempting to reach that future? And, what is the role of ICT and media in relation to these questions and issues? </div>

This is the last seminar - a possibility to wrap up and discuss all the issues that we have touched upon in this course. You will have heard the panelists' discussions on Oct 8, and their proposed images of the future. For this seminar, you are supposed to read one text (see below) and think about the following question:<br />
- What is your image(s) of the future and has it changed during the course? Furthermore you should prepare for the seminar by handing in two questions for the seminar, see instructions below.<br />

You have read the literature and (soon) heard lecture 10 about "rebound effects". That lecture and the readings raise a host of uncomfortable questions about technological development, efficiency gains and rebound effects. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Planned technological obsolescence, i.e. that things are constructed in order <i>not </i>to be durable, is of course very bad from an environmental point of view. Even worse is that what we regard as technological innovation partly resembles technological churn (or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_churning">product churn</a>) - we buy new products even <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/09/replacement-therapy/308609/">before the old products wear out</a>. But what can be done about it? Some of the suggestions are perhaps not very appealing:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
- AT&T (monopolistic telephony service) renting out durable, boring, expensive telephones to relatively powerless consumers (as suggested by Owen, p.230-)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
- Refrain from developing/using new technologies - or at least think about it twice or even three times (Baumer & Silberman)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
When I originally listened to the podcast "When patents attack!" I was absolutely furious about patent trolls - and so will you be too. But later I explored a mental flip-flop. Are patent trolls not doing what every true environmentalist would want; decreasing the speed of innovation and increasing the price of the finished products? I have still not made my mind up about how to think about patent trolls. Are they despicable and should be chased away? What then would the effects be of a world without patent trolls? Or are patent trolls environmental heroes (in relation to the <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/lecture-10-oct-2-13-15-daniel-pargman.html">lecture 10</a> and seminar 6 literature) - decreasing "technological churn" without hardly using any physical resources at all? Are patent trolls clogging the legal system (and is that good or bad)? Are patent trolls modern-age <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddites">Luddites</a> - but fighting the system "from within" - with the tools and rules of the system itself? Your task is to help me grapple with these questions and to frame patent trolls ("non-practicing entities") and patent trolling in the context of environmental sustainability, technological innovation, efficiency gains and rebound effects.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The <b>question</b> you should think about is thus:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>If we value innovations and economic growth, patent trolls are obviously (?) despicable. But are patent trolls villains or heroes <b>from an environmental point of view</b>? Or are they a little of both? How? Why?</i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">It is <i>assumed</i> that you will be adequately prepared for the seminar. It is not primarily up to the </span>teachers to in detail query and make sure that you have<span class="Apple-style-span"> prepared - it is <i>your</i> job to convince us that you have.

2 <b>Write a short "position paper"</b> (around 1 page or 400 words - where you take a position on these issues) based on the question above. Please make sure that you in some way(s) refer to and make use of course materials in your paper. You should in your paper also 1) propose a question that you would like to discuss at the seminar <b>or</b> 2) propose an example of a rebound effect in the context of ICT and media (production, distribution, use/behavior).

3 Upload your position paper to Google docs (or write your position paper directly as a Google document).<b>The deadline for finishing your paper is Wednesday Oct 3 at 13.00</b>. Post the link to your position paper in Bilda so other group members can find it (it worked ok for 15 out of 16 groups two weeks ago). Finally, read the other group members' mini-papers and leave at least two comments/questions on each paper! <b>IMPORTANT</b>: watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96zDI-rVt0g">this instruction video</a> to learn how to do these things if you are <i>the least bit uncertain</i> about these instructions.</div>

<b>Talk</b>: Increased efficiency can despite our best intentions oftentimes have counterintuitive <i>negative</i> indirect effects that <i>decreases</i> or even <i>reverses</i> the hoped-for positive effects. We build better roads (to reduce bottlenecks and queues and to make the trip smoother and save gasoline), but what happens? People settle further away from the city, leading to more traffic and more time lost in queues instead of less. These perverse effects are as devious and difficult-to-fight as the mythical hydra (see picture below) - cut off one head and two new grow out. These are examples of the "rebound effect" that threatens to foil our plans even when we try to do good for the environment.</div>

This is how the home exam will work.<br />
<br />
The last week of the course (two weeks from now) looks like this:<br />
- Lecture (panel debate, "images of the future") on Mon Oct 8<br />
- Seminar on Tue Oct 9<br />
- Lecture (summary/wrap-up) on Wed Oct 10<br />
<br />
The following week (Mon Oct 15 - Sat Oct 20) is exam period.<br />
<br />
The home exam in this course will be "handed out" (possible to download from Bilda) on Tue Oct 9 (in the afternoon, after the seminar) and should be "handed in" (uploaded to Bilda) on Fri Oct 12 at 19.00 at the latest.<br />
<br />
That means you will have slightly more than three days to do the exam and you will thus be done with it before your other exams the following week.<br />
<br />
I hope this will be a good solutions for all (or most) of you.<br />
<br />

<b>Title: "Hacking sustainability: using ICT for sustainability"</b><br />
<b>By: Jorge Zapico</b>, MID/CESC KTH<br />
<br />
<b>Talk</b>: In this lecture we will explore the positive effects of ICT and media technologies in sustainability. The focus is on what we can proactively do as media practitioners, coders, designers, users, to reduce the impact of technology and to exploit the positive effects of information technologies. We will look at the different areas of opportunities such as dematerialization, optimization, communicating sustainability and paradigm changes, and go through examples of projects working in these directions.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cesc.kth.se/team/zapico">Jorge Zapico</a> is a researcher and PhD candidate at KTH at Media technology and interaction design, the Centre for Sustainable Communications, and the department of Industrial Ecology. His research is on the relationship of ICT and sustainability and using data as a tool for sustainability. He is also co-organizer of the Green Hackathon series of events.<br />

You have now learned more about sustainability, the challenges we are facing and the relationship between computers, IT and sustainability and we started exploring more proactive uses and what can be done for ICT to have a positive impact. At seminar 5 (Thursday Sept 27) we will get more hands-on and we will have a mini <b>Green Hackathon* brainstorm</b>. <br />
<br />
1. Everyone will write down an idea that:<br />
- <b>Uses ICT for sustainability</b>: efficiency, dematerialization, visualization, lifestyle changes... (See literature for Lecture 9)<br />
- <b>Reduces the impact of ICT</b>: green IT, optimization, new ways of using IT, reduction...<br />
The idea can describe a new application or service, improvements to existing things, remixes, initiatives...<br />
The description should be comprehensive, around 250-400 words and include some background information about the problem to be solved and background research on similar ideas and attempts to solve it.<br />
The idea has to be somewhat original, meaning that if the idea is something like using smart meters to visualize electricity which it has already been explored by other projects, it has to be more concrete: exploring an specific aspect or idea of implementation.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
2. Upload your idea to Google Docs: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFzMFp3X0RhTVVhSXRDeHppaEFZenc6MQ">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFzMFp3X0RhTVVhSXRDeHppaEFZenc6MQ</a></div>
<div>
The deadline is Wednesday the 25th at midnight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. During the seminar we will discuss the different ideas and improve them in an iterative process. Each idea will be presented and we will use different "lenses" to explore problems and possibilities of each idea:</div>
<div>
- <i>Environmental lens</i>: how does it affect the environment, direct/indirect, planned/unplanned effects?</div>
<div>
- <i>Simplicity lens</i>: do we really need this? can it be done with less technology? must it be done at all?</div>
<div>
- <i>Social lens</i>: how does this affect people? communities? Does it make their life more complicated? Can it have unexpected consequences?</div>
<div>
- <i>Feasibility lens: </i>how can it be implemented? Does it have an economic model? Technical challenges?</div>
<div>
Each seminar group (A-D) has been divided into three smaller groups (4-5 persons/group), <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/seminar-subgroup-members.html">see the previous blog post.</a> Lenses will be assigned using those groups.</div>
<div>
Remember that the goal is no just to criticize but to improve, refine the idea.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
4. In the end we will have a selection process to choose the best ideas.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Do
note again that not preparing adequately for the seminar entails the risk of
not receiving top points (2 p) for the seminar (which might naturally
have adverse effects on your grades).</div>
<div>

<b>Talk:</b> Stockholm Royal Seaport [Norra Djurgårdsstaden] is a future urban district under development in Stockholm. Its designers aim to create a residential area with zero fossil fuel emissions by the year 2030. Using examples from systems proposed for implementation within the district, I will present the potential benefits of ICT in meeting sustainability goals, and discuss some lingering issues that arise when designing technological systems to materialize grand visions.</div>

Today more and more people have access to these ICTs and they want the best. Producers are coming up with the latest technologies every day and with every new technology reaching the market, something older becomes obsolete. Obsolete electronic equipment, "e-waste", is the fastest growing waste stream today. Every year, 20-50 tons of e-waste is produced. Only 20% is recycled formally and the rest is dumped in developing countries where it is recycled informally. Pakistan is one of the countries at the receiving end of this waste stream and is one of the largest importers of e-waste. E-waste in Pakistan is recycled by crude processes which includes manual dismantling, open burning and acid processing of motherboards for the extraction of precious metals. These processes have impacts not just on the environment and on the people involved in this business, but also on the communities living in the vicinity of these sites. This lecture highlights the processes and the impacts of informal e-waste recycling in Pakistan.</div></div></div></div></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; "><br /></p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; "><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; "><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; "><b>About:</b> Shakila Umair is working as a Guest Researchers at the Center for Sustainable Communications/FMS at KTH and worked at Lund University Centre for Sustainable Studies (LUCSUS) before that.

Also note that another complication is that the whole schedule for next week has been "squeezed together" - everything will happen on Monday and Tuesday due to the fact that I will go to a conference during the rest of the week.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seminar 4 will be held on Tuesday September 18 (8-10 for groups C/D and 10-12 for groups A/B).</div><div><br /></div><div>/Daniel</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Instructions</b></div><div><b>----------------</b></div><div><div>You have seen films, read texts and heard lectures about energy and resource challenges (I am more specifically referring to <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/lecture-4-sept-11-13-15-daniel-pargman.html">lecture 4</a> (Pargman) and the literature for the upcoming <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/lecture-6-sept-17-17-19-nate-hagens.html">lecture 6</a> (Hagens). You should prepare for seminar 4 by watching an additional movie (a 16 minute TED talk), reading a text and thinking about the seminar question:</div><div><br /></div><div>The <b>movie</b> (TED talk) you should see is:</div><div>- Hopkins, Rob, <i><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/rob_hopkins_transition_to_a_world_without_oil.html">Transition to a world without oil</a></i> (2009).</div><div>Optional: if you want to, you can also have a look at the 16 minutes long TED talk counterargument by Peter Diamandis, <i><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_diamandis_abundance_is_our_future.html">Abundance is our future</a></i> (2012).</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The <b>text</b> you should read is:</div><div>- Tomlinson, Silberman, Patterson, Pan & Blevis (2012), "<i>Collapse informatics: Augmenting the sustainability and ICT4D discource in HCI</i>" (<a href="http://eli.informatics.indiana.edu/CHI2012_Collapse_CameraReadyFinalClean.pdf">pdf file here</a>). The paper was presented at the CHI conference earlier this year (the largest and most prestigious conference in the field of Human-Computer Interaction).</div></div><div><br /></div><div>The <b>question</b> you should think about is:</div><div><i>Is it prudent (wise) for individuals, companies and/or societies to prepare for a future of materials and energy scarcity and/or negative economic growth - or is it just plain stupid? Why? Furthermore, if these are issues that we should care and think about, do you have any suggestions for possible implications for ICT and media (production, distribution, use, disposal)?</i></div><div>Although it can be difficult, you might also consider what (if any) the implications are for <i>you </i>in the future that you personally think we are most likely to face.</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps the question above is too direct and too big? Then here is an alternative, slightly more analytical and roundabout way of thinking about the same issues:</div><div>- Try to identify the Pargman-Hagens "discourse" (the set of interlinking ideas and underlying assumptions). Use the questions below (taken from <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/08/lecture-2-sept-3-15-17-josefin-wangel.html">Wangel's lecture</a> that partly covered the topic of discourses - slides available in Bilda) as a starting point:</div><div><i> - What, according to this discourse, is to be considered a problem?</i></div><div><i> - What is to be considered a feasible conclusion? </i></div><div><i> - What is to be prioritized?</i></div><div><i> - What are your personal opinions as to these matters?</i></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">It is <i>assumed</i> that you will be adequately prepared for the seminar. It is not primarily up to the </span>teachers to in detail query and make sure that you have<span class="Apple-style-span"> prepared - it is <i>your</i> job to convince us that you have. In relation to seminar 4, that more specifically means:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div>1 Read/watch the materials for the seminar (above) as well as those connected to lecture 4 and lecture 6.</div><div>2 <b>Write a short "position paper"</b> (around 1 page or 400 words - where you take a position on these issues) based on the questions above. Please make sure that you in some way(s) refer to and make use of course materials in your paper. You should in your paper also propose a question that you would like to discuss at the seminar. Please either use of seminar assignment template available in Bilda (/Documents) or otherwise look at the template and make sure you include the same information in your own position paper.</div><div>3 Upload your position paper to Google docs (or write your position paper directly as a Google document).<b>The deadline for finishing your paper is Monday Sept 17 at 15.00</b>. Post the link to your position paper in Bilda so other group members can find it. Finally, read the other group members' mini-papers and comment on them! <b>IMPORTANT</b>: watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96zDI-rVt0g">this instruction video</a> to learn how to do these things.</div><div><br /></div><div>Each seminar group (A-D) has been divided into three smaller groups (4-5 persons/group), <a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/seminar-subgroup-members.html">see the previous blog post</a>.

This course has for the most part dealt with environmental sustainability this far, but has also touched upon social aspects of sustainability (see literature, slides and your own notes from lectures by Brandt and Finnveden).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Mini Paper:</b></div><div>Your task is to write one page (roughly 500 words) about how social and economic sustainability is linked (or not) to environmental sustainability. Please make some explicit reference to lectures and literature in the course. Also feel welcome to contribute own reflections and references to sources outside of the course.</div><div><br /></div><div>Your texts will constitute the basis for the discussions at the seminar so please be sure to bring them to the seminar! You will hand in your texts to the teachers at the end of the seminar - it is part of the requirements of passing the "sustainability basics" part of the course.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a starting point, look at Greger's text about social sustainability below as well as the three pages from a book by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs">Jeffrey Sachs</a> (available in Bilda/Documents/Literature). </div><div><br /></div><div>-------------------</div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span lang="EN-US">Aspects of t</span><span lang="EN">he social dimension of sustainability, as interpreted by Greger</span></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span lang="EN">Social sustainability goals usually relate to the <b>health (care), education, economic and social security, and social participation</b> (see e.g. the UN Millennium Development Goals). In a sustainable society all people live and work in healthy environments, have access to health care and education, and exercise their influence in society under democratic forms.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span lang="EN">These various aspects may be defined in terms of <b>minimum levels</b> for e.g. economic security (wages and benefits), education or health care. Concerning health, for example, people should at least have access to basic health care and also not risk getting ill from being exposed to serious health risks or injuries.<br /><br />Even for social participation minimum levels could be defined, that have to do with civil rights as voting rights, freedom of expression, the right to organize trade unions, etc.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span lang="EN">But sustainability is not just about minimum levels, it is also about the fair <b>distribution</b> of access to the above utilities. If there is a certain amount of, for example, health care or education available, this amount should be distributed in an equitable manner. This makes it specifically interesting to look at groups that are already ‘low’ in relation to one good or several of them. Which option means an increased equity in the distribution of these?<br /><br />Fair <b>procedures</b> is a further aspect, since it is not only the current or final goal fulfillment that determines the degree of sustainability in a community. Also the political (democratic) and social procedures are important. Who can join and make their voices heard when decisions on important conditions in the local and national community, and in e.g. schools or workplaces, are made?</span><span lang="EN-US" style=" ;font-family:TTE26A3E78t00;font-size:11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><span lang="EN">.</span></div></div>pargmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208443783482286491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881277530422645015.post-57018368166029175312012-09-07T15:39:00.002+02:002012-09-07T15:43:02.271+02:00Seminar 2 feedback (from Greger) - groups C/D.<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">Dear students,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">about 21 of you joined the seminar groups C and D today, Friday.

<b>Talk:</b> At the time of rising environmental consciousness in the 1960's, "Spaceship Earth" became a metaphor to denote the earth's fragility as well as a model for a sustainable future. The spaceship reconciled sufficiency and efficiency ideals. While a spaceship like the ark held the hope of preserving life and nature, systems ecology and biosphere technology used it as a model for efficient environmental management on Earth and beyond. I will discuss how, between 1960 and 1990, Earth's biosphere was seen and replicated as a complex self-contained and self-sustained life-support system.</div>

We were two teachers, Mohammad (A) and Greger (B). We think you did a nice job in bringing discussion topics with you to the seminar and reflecting upon them in the smaller groups. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">We were also pleased to get a better personal contact with you than what is possible during the lectures. I (Greger) hope (and require) that you will all come to the following seminar(s), be open, express your views and ask questions. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">At the very end of the seminar today you filled out a quiz (a very light exam) concerning concepts that have been covered during the lectures by Brandt, Wangel and Finnveden. I checked all of the 23 handed in quizzes with the aim of finding out if your answers were 'more right than wrong'. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">I actually did find that all of you were more in the right than in the wrong for at least 2 of the 3 questions! As far as I can see, that means that you were all good enough.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">However, there are always things to discuss, both in terms of formulating questions and in answering them. Therefore I suggest that when you come to the next seminar (with me and a colleague of mine), you should have looked up appropriate answers for those questions you felt uncertain about today. OK?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">Greger Henriksson</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">.</span>pargmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208443783482286491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881277530422645015.post-34519287911626969652012-09-04T14:33:00.001+02:002012-09-05T16:24:20.560+02:00Lecture 4 - Sept 11 (13-15) - Daniel Pargman.<br />

<b>Talk:</b> You have by now heard several lectures focusing on the meaning of sustainability and the challenges regarding climate change (CO2 emissions, global environmental challenges etc.). I will try to convince you that resource challenges and a global "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_crisis">energy crunch</a>" will pose a more immediate concern than the (possibly more serious, but also acting on a longer time horizon) challenge of climate change - even though these two issues are tightly linked. </div>

1) Start by looking at this 35 minutes long film with the not-so-uplifting name "<i>There's no tomorrow</i>". Please do not look at it on your smartphone while you're on the move. The film is packed with information, so treat it the same way you would treat a complex text (or a math problem). Concentrate on the movie and keep paper and a pencil at hand in order to <i>write down any questions or thoughts</i> that the film raises (and it <i>should</i> raise many questions). The first part of the lecture will primarily be based on the<i> </i>questions you bring with you to class<i>. </i>The movie is "backed up" by two texts that you should also read (see below).</div>

If you read the course PM (<a href="http://dm2573-2012.blogspot.se/2012/09/course-pm-available-in-bilda.html">see previous blog post</a>), you will notice that attendance is pretty important in this course. <br />
<br />
I have created <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjSX1UzPXs2MdHJhZXRDeVV6cjZpY29vemdqUUVnZlE">a Google document</a> where you can check out your attendance this far. The goal is to update the document at least once per week. This document is not "published on the web" (should thus not be found in web searches), but it is available to anyone who has the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjSX1UzPXs2MdHJhZXRDeVV6cjZpY29vemdqUUVnZlE).<br />
<br />
Do check the document out now and then and do get in touch with me if you think the information in the document is not correct.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;"><span lang="EN-US">In this seminar we will discuss the readings for the seminar with <i>issues highlighted by you</i> as our point of departure. You therefore have to bring discussion topics, printed on a sheet of paper, to the lecture. Don't forget to sign/print your name on the paper = proof of attendance at the seminar.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">‘Discussion topics’ means a couple of questions or reflections in relation to ideas, messages or statements from <i>at least two of the texts</i>. You should write about <b>100-200 words </b>(1/4 - 1/2 page of text). Your reflections and questions will be discussed during the seminar. And remember, don’t write a review – highlight issues you find intriguing.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The last 10 minutes of the seminar will be reserved for a ‘mini quiz’ regarding the readings for the previous lectures. This quiz will help us teachers see that all students can get a ‘pass’ on this part of course. The questions in the quiz will be based on those concepts in the readings that were highlighted by the lecturers.</span></div>
