Can you think of a time when technology did not influence the media you use? Be it your device--computers, cell phones, television--or your platform--websites, social media, apps--media use is influenced and assisted by these technologies. This course examines this intersection and influence of media over technology, and vice versa. Specifically, this course delves into the various facets of this intersection and relationship and what that means in terms of the media people use, the technology they use and the kind of discourse and society they create as a result of digital affordances and advances. More importantly, this course will teach students to look beyond the surface and examine media and technologies for the way they are designed to operate, as well as the manner in which users operate them.
