INF 420 - The Information Society

3 hours
This course addresses the historical transformation from an industrial society to an information society by providing a point of reference and a place to critically examine if, in fact, an “information society” has emerged. Other topics include analog and digital print culture, what it means to be digitally literate, norms and values of digital citizenry, information labor, and the rise of technology-based surveillance, among other topics. Learning experiences in this course will employ literature-based discussion, collaborative knowledge building using digital tools (e.g., blogs and wikis), and research-based writing exercises.

Prerequisite(s): INF 110  and INF 120
