    Description
    An introduction to the nature and function of technology, and the relationship between society and technology. This class focuses on the nature and impact of technology on society, paying particular attention to computing while using previous technological advances as a basis for comparison. We consider the social, political, historic, economic, and philosophic contexts that both shaped and have been shaped by technological change. Students explore the emerging field of technology and society studies and learn techniques borrowed from business, sociology, psychology, and philosophy.
