Group Project Choices
1) Sociotechnology (start class and of interest in several wiki projects) This page could benefit from a section about the political ramifications resulting from sociotechnological advances. For example, Egypt is a great example of technology as means of communication making large political changes. Sociotechnology is the study of how technology and society effect each other. This relates to information exchange because the technologies discussed are primarily used to exchange ideas and information.

2) Digital anthropology (c class and of interest in two wiki projects) Because networked technology is, by definition, the exchange of information and digital anthropology is the study of how technology effects us as a species, I think this qualifies as an information studies topic. I think a Notable Studies section should be added, or something outlining some prominent ideas to emerge from this field.

4) Technological revolution (start class- c class and of importance to 5+ wiki projects) This article is written poorly and needs a lot of work. It needs a section on how the creation of the web abetted technological advancement as well as advancement in business and general human productivity. This topic is about how advancements change the way we live and because we would add a section about how the internet allowed information to be exchanged easily and openly, it would fall under the heading of information studies.

3) Technology transfer (start class and of high importance to 4 wiki projects). We could add a section for open source software or how computer technology changed engineering. It allows for engineers to exchange discoveries, advise each other, and work on projects far beyond their immediate vicinity and this information allows access to life saving water sanitation techniques, transportation engineering and other important aspects to well-being and advancement. This is some of the most important information that can be exchanged between peoples so I would think that it is a qualifying topic.
