| Course Objectives | This course explores the social, legal, philosophical, ethical, political, constitutional, and economic implications of computing and the impact of technology on society as well as how society has shaped, used, and responded to new technologies. With a computer scientist's perspective, and with historical context for many issues, it covers the issues students will face both as members of a technological society and as professionals in computer-related fields. A primary goal is to develop computer professionals who understand the implications of what they create and how it fits into society at large. |
