COM 104 - You are How You Think:New Technology’s Effect on Individuals/Society

This course is an inquiry into how technology and communication media affect the way we see and think about the world, and how we act in it. We cannot accurately predict how the new digital media will change us, but we can become aware of the ideas and approaches offered to understand this issue. Students examine earlier media innovations, learn how people viewed them then and compare them to the changes that actually occurred. They explore media’s effects on individuals and society, and how subtle, but powerful, changes in perception and attitudes may enter society unnoticed during times of innovation.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 060 or higher placement and eligible for ENG 101.
