HUM 120: Reflections on a Technological World

How do technologies influence human connection? How do technologies help shape culture? This course will explore the meaning of modern technology and seek to understand our relationship with it, how we participate in its growth and how it participates in our own, how it is not &quot;modern,&quot; and how, in the end, we are techno-logical beings.
