New Course
CogSci/InfoSys/MassComm C103 (3)     History of Information Duguid, Nunberg MW 4-5:30 277 Cory
This course explores the history of information and associated technologies, uncovering why we think of ours as “the information age.”  We will select moments in the evolution of production, recording, and storage from the earliest writing systems to the world of Short Message Service (SMS) and blogs.  In every instance, we’ll be concerned with both what and when and how and why, and we will keep returning to the question of technological determinism: how do technological developments affect society and vice versa?

Information will be emailed soon on what credit will be given for this course in the major.

*It is unlikely that CogSci majors will be allowed into Phil 100.  Those students in the Philosophy concentration may appeal to the instructor.  All other concentrators should take a different core course.
