Week 1 - Chapter 1

Deadline:

Monday, May 7, 5 p.m.

1) Read chapter 1 of Technopoly ASAP.

2) Post a minium of two comments (200 words each) responding to the Blackboard discussion questions and/or other comments from other discussants. (At least one per thread.) (10 pts. each)

3) Find a MAGAZINE or NEWSPAPER article ONLINE (not "Bill & Ted's Excellent Web Site) that demonstrates or discusses the fact that new media and technology is changing politics, religion or social relationships (choose one). Please read the article, write an abstract and then post a link and the abstract in this thread (on the Blackboard discussion board. I started a thread for that as well.) (5 pts.)

Note that for discussions I will be using a rubric similar to this one to grade your comments.

Good luck. And again, any question please post them here or email me. (If you don't have the book yet, you might try the bookstore at Columbia.)

Dr. Randle
