Can technology solve our big problems?

For next week, you'll have to watch (again) the speech of Jason Pontin analyzing how technology could solve problems, but sadly it's not the case. On Monday, we'll correct your answers to these questions:

JASON PONTIN – Can technology solve our big problems? - TED TALKS (Feb '13)

1.     How many technological advances of the 20th century are mentioned?

2.     According to JFK, why did the Apollo 11 go to the moon?

3.     What are technologists doing instead of trying to solve humanity's big problems?

4.     Why haven't we gone to Mars yet?

5.     According to Pontin, what's the actual cause of famines?

Try not to use the script after you've finished, read it after the exercise: "Can technology solve our big problems?" script.
