COM 421 - The Internet (4 Cr.) (GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
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 300-level required theory/criticism and history courses, COM 262 , and junior or senior status, by the beginning of the semester; or permission of the instructor. Spring semester, alternate years. Kimball.
