Toward that aim, much of the effort to date has been put into improving access to solar technologies through innovation in technical infrastructure and financial investments. Despite these goals, there is no concurrent investment in the optimization of energy use generated through these SPI; promoters of SPI do not know the value that farmers can potentially generate if SPI is directed to productive usage—irrigation and otherwise. Our study conducted in one of the most in-demand solar irrigation sites in Nepal’s southern plains reveals that a significant amount of energy generated from SPI is not utilized and is “spilled/wasted.” The conventional emphasis given to the technocentric approach that Nepal’s solar energy promoters currently deploy needs to be refocused in favor of prioritizing policies to allow farmers to optimize the use of energy generated through these SPI systems and avoid “spill/waste.” This shift demands a new set of innovative approaches that are both technological and social in thinking so that the energy that is currently being spilled/wasted can be utilized for more productive end uses. Market-based solutions such as farmers selling “excess” electricity back to the grid through the arrangement of net metering and the introduction of an agricultural value chain can potentially expand opportunities for farmers to improve their livelihoods and generate jobs locally.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"44 3","pages":"56-69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agile focuses on iterative cycles of planning, execution, and evaluation, while DBR, used in learning sciences, involves designing and testing interventions to address specific problems. The AgileDBR framework is applied in a case study within postgraduate computing education (PGCE), highlighting its advantages in transparency, scalability, and collaboration through processes, practices, and product (artefact). By aligning Agile's structured, time-bound iterations with DBR's systematic and flexible research process, AgileDBR proved particularly effective in responding to disruptions caused by COVID-19. The case study, for illustrative purposes, demonstrates AgileDBR's adaptability-supported by methodological tools like the Vision Research Canvas and Test and Learn Cards- to facilitate research pivots and enhanced documentation. The outcome of this study showcases the benefits of AgileDBR making the research process efficient, transparent, adaptable, and scalable through documented iterative collaborative project management processes, practices, and visual tools.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"44 3","pages":"80-97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pascal Zachary","doi":"10.1109/MTS.2025.3561774","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/MTS.2025.3561774","url":null,"abstract":"This essay examines the proposition that the pursuit of novelty is a primary and independent causal factor in technological change. By examining the role of novelty historically, both internally within engineered artifacts and externally, in the built world that humans inhabit, the author argues that when the pursuit of novelty merges with a resurgence in previously discarded or outdated tools and processes, it can challenge and even overturn common assumptions about technological change. These assumptions—that innovation progresses in a linear fashion and newer technologies are inherently superior, more advanced, desirable, powerful, or transformative—may be disrupted, complicated, or entirely undermined by the “novelty imperative.” The hunger for novelty, whether arising from the individual or collective psyches of society, is a persistent object of fascination and study for economists and historians of technological change. This essay draws on the rich example of the revival among classical musicians of so-called “authentic instruments” over the past 50 years and, in particular, the renewed enthusiasm for the fortepiano, which was supplanted by the modern piano about 200 years ago and is today providing a means of achieving novel expressions of technologically mediated music that clearly appeals to listeners and performers. The example of the fortepiano (and early instruments generally) enriches our understanding of the appeal of novel innovations, both from the standpoint of creators of tools and their consumers and in historical and contemporary settings.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"44 2","pages":"24-30"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11018499","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144186011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
