Common Technology topics for research

These are common topics I've seen successfully used in the past for research papers, and are quite acceptable to do research papers on. Your research paper is not to present both sides of the argument as there are not just two sides. Your job is to find a new argument, to add something new to the discussion and take the research in a new direction.

Some topics are inherently more difficult than others. Remember that the technology must be the focus, and to avoid evaluative language (ie: best, worst, etc.).

Technology and health
Prosthetics, implants, bionics
Genetic engineering

Video Games as addictive
Video Games as educational
Video Games and violence


Education using technology
Dependence on technology
Technology decreasing intelligence

New energy sources
"Green" Technology
Nuclear Power
Environment and technology



Police technologies
Military technologies
Spy technologies

Electronic banking

     The following topics, reluctantly, I am disallowing for the research paper. These topics are banned because there really is no new argument.

Cellular Phones
Text messaging
Facebook
