CYBERPSYCHOLOGY

Catalog description

This course investigates the effects of the digital culture and cyberspace on the individual and society at large. We will cover current technology, reflect on past and present projections of technological advances, and the impact it has on being human. Some questions we will explore are: Is there a difference between the virtual-self and the traditional self? What is 'the Internet' and how do we use it? How accessible are digital technologies? How does technology and cyberspace shape us, our thoughts, behavior, communications, stories?
