You have explored the relationship among technology, society, and the individual through the four general education lenses. You have looked at the nature of technology and how it is socially constructed and has an influence on social and cultural practices. You have also explored how technology informs our thinking about topics such as gender, class, health, and what it means to be human.

In this final discussion, look back on your experiences in the course and provide an overview of what you have learned from the course with regard to technology.

  • How do the four lenses represent a way of seeing technology?
  • What are the implications of technology on the future?
  • How can technology help build community and bring us together?
  • How are you going to implement what you have learned in this course and used in your presentation in your own life?
