(real time availability for all sections)

This course will provide the foundational knowledge necessary to begin to address the key issues associated with the Information Revolution. Issues will range from the theoretical (what is information and how do humans construct it?) to the cultural (is life on the screen a qualitatively different phenomenon from experiences with earlier distance-shrinking and knowledge-building technologies such as telephones?) to the practical (what are the basic architectures of computing and networks?). Successful completion of this “gateway” course will provide the student with the conceptual tools necessary to understand the politics, economics, and culture of the Information age, providing a foundation for later study in Information or any number of more traditional disciplines.
