This course examines how media technologies shape the way we communicate and how the way we communicate in turn shapes the development of media technologies as evolving cultural practices. We will read technologies not as machines or tools invented to perform preconceived functions, but as forms of tech, understood as way of making things. So, in this course, we will try to understand how media users cause media to improve their efficiency as much as how media users themselves are changed as they continue to communicate.
