LAS 392 - Social Technology: Progress or Regression?



Technology had changed almost every aspect of our daily life from how we go to work to how we get our gossip. The explosion of online social networks, telecommuting and online virtual worlds has posed the question, “Are we moving forward and making ourselves and society better, or is all this technology a regression?” We will explore and experiment with these technologies and analyze their effect on work and leisure. We will then compare this new idea of work and leisure with ideas from the past and examine whether these new technologies are an improvement of our inner self. (3 hours)
