ISP 255 Technology and Culture
3 hours
It is impossible to separate technology from being human. For over 100,000 years we have used technology to shape our world, and in turn we have been shaped by the technologies we have chosen, developed, and come to rely upon, from the flint and the ax, to the jet plane and the cell-phone, and beyond. Drawing on texts from the sciences, the humanities and the social sciences, this interdisciplinary course will explore and examine the various ways technology and technological progress has molded our culture and our imagination.
