Doelstellingen
Apparently there is no escape from the transformations brought on by the new technology called “the Internet”. Only the beginnings have been witnessed of the euphoria and the anxiety, of the gains and losses incurred by this shift to a truly planetary economy. This course provides an introduction to various factors - communication, networking, globalization, de-materialization- that accompany this world-wide technological revolution. One can only fully understand the possibilities that internet in all its forms can offer, if its history is known.
Therefore, learning and understanding what internet means and how internet has influenced and will influence personal and economic life leading to a critical attitude, is one of the main objectives of this course. Through reading literature, presenting and discussing it, a critical stance can be attained.
