COM 321 - The Internet (4 Cr.)
What is the internet? It is a technological infrastructure for many forms of communication and information; it is a space for social connection and cultural expression; it is a set of powerful political and economic institutions and structures. This class will critically investigate what it is, how it got that way, and how it can be in the future. We will examine the histories, technologies, discourses, practices, content, and institutions that make up the internet. Prerequisites: at least two of the 200-level required theory/criticism and history courses, departmental and college writing proficiency, and junior or senior status; or permission of the instructor. Spring semester, alternate years. Kimball.
