Document Summary

Develop a better appreciation of how much we rely upon electronic technologies. Implicate our actions today in the technology of the future. Focus of course - the role that technology plays in society. All of us ae users of technology in one way or another, it helps us but we can also become frustrated with technology. Focus of course is not on the technology itself. We are trying to critically examine the way technology shapes our social reality. Social reality - how we perceive the world around us. We take for granted that the way that we see the world is in fact how the world is. We are taught to think about the perspective that we have in that way. More critically, we can recognize that each one of us has a different perspective on how we see the world, how we see our relationship to the world around us, the people around us etc.
