LAS 340 - The Future of Everything

3 hours
An undergraduate education is considered to be a time to prepare for the future. No-one knows for certain what will happen in the future but it is quite certain that advancements in technology will play a major role in the future of the planet. This course will challenge the popular conception that technology is simply a “means to and end” and is essentially value neutral. We will think critically about the role of technology in 1) education, 2) communication, 3) leisure, and 4) vocation. Therefore, we will be able to embrace our futures with the awareness of the promises and perils of technology.
