(5 credits)

The Internet and mobile technologies have increased the immediacy and accessibility of information and have provided a global platform for the expression of creativity and new ideas. Students in this course explore how the Internet and mobile technologies affect how people think, view the world, gain information, and record and interpret history. They examine and discuss the use of the Internet and mobile technologies for socialization, entertainment, news and information, terrorism, politics, commerce and advertising, health, education, and work. Applying course concepts and theories, students demonstrate knowledge through a final paper or presentation in which they examine how the Internet and mobile technologies psychologically impact their personal lives and the lives of their family and friends.
