Experiments using electricity to stimulate hearing date back as far as 1748, when the portraitist and electricity researcher Benjamin Wilson electricized a covered vial through a wire that ran from one side of a woman’s temple to the opposite end of her head, bringing about an explosion and small warmth from ear to ear. An experiment from the 1930s made use of a living cat as a microphone, wherein an attempt was made to stimulate the cat’s auditory nerve [1] . If the electrical contact was successful, a listener could hear sounds spoken into the cat’s ear through a connected telephone receiver.

A. David Wunsch
Reading the 26 essays of this well-regarded book now in its third edition was such a pleasurable experience that I wanted to teach a course in which I might assign it to my students. The text would be of particular interest to engineering students—it is about their profession—as well as of interest to people in the field of the history of technology. The main strength of the work is its sometimes novel choice of topics. Its occasional weakness is the failure of some important subjects to appear. Historians of technology will recognize some familiar names in the list of essayists. Merritt Roe Smith writes about Eli Whitney’s role in the American system of manufacturing and demolishes the notion that Whitney pioneered manufacturing with interchangeable parts. Thomas Parke Hughes writes on Thomas Edison, and Ruth Schwartz Cowan on Ellen Swallow Richards, in 1870, the first woman to graduate from MIT and the driving force behind the establishment of the discipline of home economics.

The analysis of fisherman exploitation in Taiwan’s distant water fishing (DWF) industry is a critical undertaking to address and combat labor abuses within this sector. DWF involves fishing activities conducted in waters beyond Taiwan’s territorial limits, and it is crucial to ensure fair and ethical treatment of the fishermen involved. The analysis of fisherman exploitation entails a comprehensive examination of various factors contributing to labor abuses. This includes investigating working conditions, working hours, payment practices, living conditions aboard fishing vessels, and overall treatment of the fishermen. Evaluating whether these practices comply with local and international labor standards, human rights principles, and relevant regulations is essential. Human action recognition (HAR) involves the use of computer vision algorithms to automatically identify and classify actions being performed by humans in videos or images. HAR technology can analyze footage from DWF vessels and identify actions indicating labor exploitation or abuse. It is essential to address the issue of exploitation and abuse in Taiwan’s DWF industry [1] , [2] . Lewis et al. [16] explored using “AI” and face recognition as both a speech act and a technological tool for monitoring workers or intimidating migrants and protesters. While this concept has been implemented in various systems, our primary focus is developing a system to detect and address long work-hour exploitation.

The history of technological innovations is replete with examples of both positive and negative societal impacts. An often-cited example is that of textile workers (referred to as Luddites) who rebelled against the machines that threatened their livelihoods as their artisans’ skilled labor was being replaced with less skilled machine workers [1] . On the other hand, a positive impact of that technology was that the machine workers could do the work with higher efficiency. It is generally the case that for successful innovations, the positives outweigh the negatives resulting in a net positive to societies. This pattern continues to repeat itself in this information age.

In 2022, a number of literary critics observed that exactly 100 years had elapsed since 1922, the year that Ezra Pound had once proclaimed as “Year one of a new era.” He was doubtless referring to the publication of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land as well as James Joyce’s Ulysses. It was the year that Einstein won the Nobel Prize in physics. Not generally noted, but certainly of social importance was the entry of the BBC into the world of radio broadcasting—a major event in the shaping of culture in Great Britain.
