Welcome to IDS 252: Society, Ethics, and Technology

Rise, shine, and welcome IDS 252, Section 3. This course will explore how technology has impacted society and, in turn, how society has changed our behavior (or at least attempted to do so) by limiting, promoting, or exploiting how we use technology.

In its guts this course has been tied to TCNJ for nearly two decades, pre-web for you youngins, so it is not all about how the web is, has, and or will change our lives. It is about how technology has impacted our society, how it is doing that right now,and will hopefully prepare you to make sound, ethical, decisions when you end up inventing, or programming, the next generation of light bulb.
