Assignment: Development of Technology Programs

The purpose of the journals is for you to think about things that happen in your everyday lives in a way that connects with our course topic. Your journal should contain the types and number of entries mentioned above. The entries ought to be long enough to sustain "deep" thoughts (200 to 1000 words). The journals need to contain reflections on topics that intersect your course directly or tangentially. They should not be connected with the textbook (that is what the quizzes are for). When writing about articles, TV, or movies, write about the ideas, do not summarize-I want your ideas. If an entry is not about technology and society or is connected to the textbook, you will not receive any credit for that entry.

They should also follow standard writing format with a clear thesis/main idea in an introduction paragraph that is then supported in subsequent paragraphs with examples and analysis.

Task

Here are some specific suggestions for the Journals:

I. Try to keep up with technology issues by watching relevant science and technology programming on Discovery Channel, PBS, CNN, etc.

II. Many sci-fi movies focus on issues of our use of technology (Alien Resurrection, the Matrix movies, Star Trek movies, Forbidden Planet, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Blade Runner, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc.). So, you could write about them, too. Not all movies are about technology although all use technology. The same goes for television shows.

III. Check out the Internet. Type in "Technology and Society" on your search engine, you should get plenty of hits.

IV. Keep up with science and technology in the Washington Post. Also, check magazines like Scientific American, Wired, Discover, etc.
