CORE 458 - Technology, Self and Society
Prerequisites: Core Senior Seminar, required for graduation CORE 101 through CORE 105 and at least sixth semester standing
This is not a technical course. Rather, it looks at how a technology emerges and may extend beyond its intended purposes. Today’s college student has been surrounded by technology since birth. Portable music devices have more storage capabilities than was conceivable for desktop computers in the mid-90’s. Technology is becoming more and more ingrained into the fabric of our daily lives. This course looks at the impact of technology beyond everyday devices. How did this happen and what does it mean for you as an active participant within a global society? Beyond computers themselves, the course explores other emerging technologies and the issues they raise, including technological impact on culture, ethics, privacy, and security in a global environment.
