Technology and Social Change

Section 64240

  • Note: This course focuses on how technology both shapes and is shaped by society. In our writing we will analyze claims about technological innovation and develop original arguments about the promises, problems, ethics, and ideologies of this fundamental condition of modern life. Areas for exploration include technological determinism, ethical challenges to technology, political responses to technology, utopianism, and technology's impact of various social systems, ranging from the military to commerce to the family.
