Media and technology is all around us: E-mail, TV, Microsoft, Google, blogs, magazines, and phones shape the world we live in and ourselves. This course asks how media technology shapes the most fundamental aspects of our lives, from our education to our interpersonal relationships, our cultural tastes to our politics. We will first develop a critical perspective on the history and usage of media technology, but will then learn how to use the media and technology we talk about with special workshops on Podcasting, Powerpoint, and Wikis in order to put those lessons into sociological practice.
