SOC 320 - Technology, Society and the Future

Ira Silver, Associate Professor of Sociology at Framingham State College
This course explores the powerful roles that technology plays in contemporary social life and suggests that some of the impacts that our ever-greater reliance on, and faith in, technology might have upon our lives. The course begins with a critical overview of the heralded promises that technology often carries;here, we explore some of the undersides of so-called "technological progress." The reminder of the course examinies a series of debates about the impacts of particular technologies on social life. Our aim in looking at these debates is to get a handle on the implications that these technologies may have in the foreseeable future.
