TSS 2102 - Human-Technology Connection

Credits: 4
Humans continue to develop technology to improve their lives. From driverless cars to smartphones to Internet gaming to social media, technology connects with humans to produce both positive and negative results. This course examines how various texts present the human-technology connection in an attempt to inform, persuade, or re-focus the debate on the need for and use of technology in daily lives. Students will select their own topic and will analyze selected research studies, peer-reviewed journal articles, personal opinion essays, and video productions to determine the purpose, credibility, and methodology used for communication of content.
