When using technology to provide services, practitioner competence and the well-being of the client remain primary. Social workers who use technology to provide services should evaluate their ability to assess the relative benefits and risks of providing social work services using technology (for example, in-person services may be necessary when clients pose a significant risk of self-harm or injurious behavior, are cognitively impaired, require sustained support by a social worker with whom they have an ongoing professional relationship, or are in crisis).
These professionals should also ensure that electronic social work services can be kept confidential. For example, the information provided by the client should only be accessible by those who require access and that the host of the server used for electronic communication agrees to abide by the privacy policies of the social worker. It is important to respect clear professional boundaries – for example, social workers should be mindful of boundary confusion that may result if they disclose personal information about themselves or others in an online setting to which clients have access.
Besides, they should confirm the identity of the client to whom services are provided electronically at the beginning of each contact with the client (examples include confirming a client’s online consent with a telephone call; providing the client with a password, passcode, or image that is specifically for the client’s use when providing consent electronically).

Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of
punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was
represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete.
Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers,
dates from World War II, when a form of delay-line memory was
developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first
practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The
first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube,
based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored
in it was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and
thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of nonvolatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in
1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world’s first
commercially available general-purpose electronic computer.

Jack Kilby’s revolutionary idea was to make all the
different components of a circuit out of the same flat block of
semiconductor material. Not only would this get rid of wires and
faulty connections, it would make the entire circuit much more
compact. Kilby demonstrated his first “integrated circuit” on
Sept. 12, 1958.
Six months later, in California, another engineer, Robert
Noyce, independently came up with the idea of making an
integrated circuit. Noyce’s chip was better suited to be
manufactured in large numbers, and soon he was part of a young
company called Intel.
Thus was launched a revolution. The first chip-based
computer was the first U.S. Air Force computer, built in 1961.
The true potential of the integrated circuit was shown when
Texas Instruments unveiled the pocket calculator. Previously
calculators had been bulky devices that needed to be plugged in
to electrical mains. The pocket calculator, small enough to hold
in one’s palm, had a chip inside and batteries were adequate to
power it.
Progress was rapid thereafter. Many have already heard of
Moore’s law, which has become a mantra of the digital age. First
put forward by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s,
it says that the processing power of a chip doubles every two
years, while the price falls by half. For more than four decades,
Moore’s law has held, driving incredible growth and
miniaturization — and wealth.
The question is whether the semiconductor industry can
sustain this pace. Further increasing the processing power of
chips is proving to be problematic as certain fundamental
physical barriers are being reached. At the same time, new
frontiers are opening up. The quest is on to make chips that are
powered by light instead of electricity, which will enable much
faster computers.

In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard
the International Space Station (ISS). The suspected culprit was a
piece of rogue space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were
injured, it has re-focussed attention on the growing problem of
orbital debris.
How did we get here?
It’s easy to forget that just seven decades ago the Moon
was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On 1 January 2021 there
were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Tellingly, only just over half of
them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal careering around
the planet at 28,000 kph — ten times faster than a bullet.
How bad is the problem?
Very bad and getting worse. Estimates suggest there are
currently half a million pieces of debris the size of a marble or
larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter
across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked by the US
Department of Defense.
What is Kessler syndrome?
It’s a catastrophic chain of events in which a satellite is
shattered by a piece of space junk (or a collision with another
satellite) and the resulting debris destroys more satellites creating
more junk and so on in a never-ending cascade. It’s a domino
effect – one piece falls and then takes the rest with it – and is
named after NASA scientist Donald Kessler, who outlined the
dangers back in 1978.
What can we do about it?
Better regulation of new launches would help, as right
now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. There are existing regulations in
place to try and mitigate the dangers, such as a 25-year de-orbit
rule for missions in low-Earth orbit. However, ESA’s Space
Debris Environment Report says that less than 60 per cent of
those flying in low-Earth orbit currently stick to the rules.

integrated circuit. Noyce’s chip was better suited to be
manufactured in large numbers, and soon he was part of a young
company called Intel.
Thus was launched a revolution. The first chip-based
computer was the first U.S. Air Force computer, built in 1961.
The true potential of the integrated circuit was shown when
Texas Instruments unveiled the pocket calculator. Previously
calculators had been bulky devices that needed to be plugged in
to electrical mains. The pocket calculator, small enough to hold
in one’s palm, had a chip inside and batteries were adequate to
power it.
Progress was rapid thereafter. Many have already heard of
Moore’s law, which has become a mantra of the digital age. First
put forward by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s,
it says that the processing power of a chip doubles every two
years, while the price falls by half. For more than four decades,
Moore’s law has held, driving incredible growth and
miniaturization — and wealth.
The question is whether the semiconductor industry can
sustain this pace. Further increasing the processing power of
chips is proving to be problematic as certain fundamental
physical barriers are being reached. At the same time, new
frontiers are opening up. The quest is on to make chips that are
powered by light instead of electricity, which will enable much
faster computers.

Jack Kilby’s revolutionary idea was to make all the
different components of a circuit out of the same flat block of
semiconductor material. Not only would this get rid of wires and
faulty connections, it would make the entire circuit much more
compact. Kilby demonstrated his first “integrated circuit” on
Sept. 12, 1958.

In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard
the International Space Station (ISS). The suspected culprit was a
piece of rogue space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were
injured, it has re-focussed attention on the growing problem of
orbital debris.
How did we get here?
It’s easy to forget that just seven decades ago the Moon
was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On 1 January 2021 there
were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Tellingly, only just over half of
them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal careering around
the planet at 28,000 kph — ten times faster than a bullet.
How bad is the problem?
Very bad and getting worse. Estimates suggest there are
currently half a million pieces of debris the size of a marble or
larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter
across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked by the US
Department of Defense.
What is Kessler syndrome?
It’s a catastrophic chain of events in which a satellite is
shattered by a piece of space junk (or a collision with another
satellite) and the resulting debris destroys more satellites creating
more junk and so on in a never-ending cascade. It’s a domino
effect – one piece falls and then takes the rest with it – and is
named after NASA scientist Donald Kessler, who outlined the
dangers back in 1978.
What can we do about it?
Better regulation of new launches would help, as right
now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. There are existing regulations in
place to try and mitigate the dangers, such as a 25-year de-orbit
rule for missions in low-Earth orbit. However, ESA’s Space
Debris Environment Report says that less than 60 per cent of
those flying in low-Earth orbit currently stick to the rules.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published
a new indicator that tracks findings of pesticides in Europe’s
rivers, lakes and groundwaters. The data, collected from EEA
member countries across Europe, shows the share of water bodies
where excessive levels of pesticides have been recorded from
2013 to 2019.
The new EEA indicator shows that levels of pesticides
exceeding thresholds were measured in a quarter of all reported
monitoring sites in European surface waters in 2019. From 2013
to 2019, this share varied between 13% and 30%. The share for
groundwater with exceedances was considerably lower, at
between 3% and 7%.
In the EU, pesticides are regulated on the basis of high
protection goals for human health and the environment, with
being authorised only after a comprehensive scientific risk
assessment. Nevertheless, pesticide contamination of surface
waters and groundwater can still occur and could affect aquatic
fauna and flora.

There’s growing evidence that people and the planet are
increasingly impacted by extreme events. According to the
Fourth National Climate Assessment, published in 2018 by the
U.S. Global Change Research Program, “more frequent and
intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as
changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue
to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that
provide essential benefits to communities.”
As the impacts of extreme events continue to mount,
interest has grown in the scientific community to study whether
specific extreme events can be partially attributed to human
activities. With the help of climate models, scientists have
conducted an impressive array of studies, looking for possible
links between human activities and extreme events such as heat
waves, rainfall and flooding events, droughts, storms, and
wildfires. Increasingly, they’re able to draw robust connections.
