Digital Technology and Sustainability : Engaging the Paradox
This book brings together diverse voices from across the field of sustainable human computer interaction (SHCI) to discuss what it means for digital technology to support sustainability and how humans and technology can work together optimally for a more sustainable future. Contemporary digital technologies are hailed by tech companies, governments and academics as leading-edge solutions to the challenges of environmental sustainability; smarter homes, more persuasive technologies, and a robust Internet of Things hold the promise for creating a greener world.Yet, deployments of interactive technologies for such purposes often lead to a paradox: they algorithmically "optimize" heating and lighting of houses without regard to the dynamics of daily life in the home; they can collect and display data that allow us to reflect on energy and emissions, yet the same information can cause us to raise our expectations for comfort and convenience; they might allow us to share best practice for sustainable living through social networking and online communities, yet these same systems further our participation in consumerism and contribute to an ever-greater volume of electronic waste.By acknowledging these paradoxes, this book represents a significant critical inquiry into digital technology’s longer-term impact on ideals of sustainability. Written by an interdisciplinary team of contributors this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of human computer interaction and environmental studies.

Can maggots bite?
Maggots do not have mouthparts designed for biting or chewing. They primarily feed on dead tissue and decaying matter by releasing enzymes to break down the material. While they may crawl on a person's skin, they do not have the ability to bite or harm humans.
-
Do maggots sleep?
Maggots do not sleep in the same way that humans or other animals do. They are constantly active, feeding on decaying organic matter. Their activity levels may decrease during periods of inactivity or when conditions are not favorable, but this is not the same as sleeping. Maggots do not have a central nervous system or brain, so they do not have the same sleep patterns as more complex organisms.
-
Can you hear maggots?
No, maggots do not make any noise that can be heard by the human ear. Maggots are the larval stage of flies and they do not have any vocal cords or mechanisms to produce sound. They primarily communicate through chemical signals and tactile sensations.

Where do maggots hide?
Maggots are commonly found in dark, damp environments where there is a food source available. They can hide in decaying organic matter such as rotting food, animal carcasses, or compost piles. Maggots are also known to hide in cracks and crevices of garbage cans, underneath trash bags, or in soiled bedding. Their preference for dark and moist conditions helps them thrive and grow rapidly.

Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change : Towards Sustainability
Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions.This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s.It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs).Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance.Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership.A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.
