Publisher's Synopsis
For undergraduate/graduate level courses in Technology and Society, Ethics and Technology, Sociological and Technological Issues, Technology in a Social World, Social Issues in Technology, Sociological, Cultural and Technological Concerns.
This anthology of scholarly and popular articles explores the positive, negative, ethical, and unethical issues faced by society as technology changes the world that we live in-on a personal, national, and international level. Unique in its depth, breadth, and variety of opinions and writings, it examines specific examples from the past and present (and hypothesized ones for the future), showing the complexity that makes "solutions" not so simple. A variety of interactive activities encourages students to think critically, analytically, and creatively, and challenges them to develop new ideas and to map out solutions to today's technological and sociological problems.
