Makers, Users, Skeptics and Thieves: Americans and Their Technologies

Catalog description

Americans -individuals and groups- have used technology to do many things; some good, some bad. Never has it been neutral. This course explores the complex and changing relationship between technology and American society from Native American canoes in the 17th century to Facebook trolling in the early 21st Century, paying particular attention to technology's role in America's dynamic gender, race and workplace relationships along the way.
