Document Summary
09/09/16 and 09/16/16 (1) a critical approach to technology and society. To develop a better appreciation of how much we rely upon technologies. To implicate our actions today in the technologies of the future. How we use today"s technologies will impact the technology that we will see in the future. This is how we perceive the world around us. Our individual culture, experience, background, and perspectives shape how we look at things, making our perceptions subjective. We may talk about reality (what we tend to convey) as a given, but there is no singular reality because it is always context-dependent. It is used to contextualize the general idea of reality and emphasize the dependency of reality on other things. World view is informed by family, community, society, and nation. How we see the world at a simple level arises from a more complex context.
