The course critically examines the transformative impact of the Internet and related technological innovations from an anthropological perspective. We explore these issues from various geographical locations to better understand how the Internet is reshaping ideas about participation, geography and space, global access to information, and mobility. We pay particular attention to the emergent inequalities, opportunities and identities that are created as certain people and places become "wired."
