| The Millennium: Technology and Its Critics Pamela E. Mack The twentieth century has sometimes been called the century of technology, but in fact technology has been a central transformative force in history not just in the 20th century but in the last millennium (in a way that is different from the role of technology in history before that time). The goal of this class is to use the coming of the millennium as a structure to look back on the impact of technology on our lives and our world. The course will examine key steps in the development of modern technology during the last millennium, and also read critics of technology not just today but in previous centuries. The goal is to put optimistic and pessimistic predictions for the role of technology in the next millennium into a historical and cultural context. |
