I chose the article “How the Sounds of Data and Nature Join to Make Sweet Music” by Aeon Essays.
The final project is a presentation for an imaginary technology conference called in order to evaluate the impact
of technology on culture. Students will pose questions of cultural concern in regard to new or emerging
technologies and answer these questions in a multimedia presentation that uses scholarly research. The
project will be completed in stages throughout the course and shared with the class in the final week. Students
choose a new or emerging technology and ask the following questions about it (from Neil Postman, Building a
Bridge to the Eighteenth Century):
What is the problem for which this technology is the solution?
Whose problem is it?
Which people and what institutions might be most seriously harmed by a technological solution?
What new problems might be created because we have solved this problem?
What sort of people and institutions might acquire special economic and political power because of
technological change?
What changes in language are being enforced by new technologies, and what is being gained and lost by such
changes?
Students answer these questions by doing research in the UMGC library. At least six scholarly sources must
be employed to answer the questions.
Your exhibit will consist of a multimedia presentation on a particular technology and its relationship to culture.
The exhibit will address the following issues regarding technology and culture.
