- Next, view the Technology Timeline linked to in Week 2.
- Then, write down what you notice about how the timeline represents “technology.“ (You can write this part as a list or as a paragraph.) You might note:
- what kinds of technology it tends to focus on;
- what time frames it provides;
- who is included or not;
- what geographic regions are more represented than others.
- After that, view the “Reconsidering Technology” slideshow in Week 2. Write down details about how the technology included is similar to or different from the timeline. You might note:
- what kinds of technology it tends to focus on;
- what time frames it provides;
- who is included or not;
- what geographic regions are more represented than others.
- Finally, write a paragraph in which you consider how the timeline and/or slideshow conform, expand, or conflict with your initial definition of technology.
The goals of this activity are
- to consider and interrogate assumptions about technology
- to practice key writing habits: revising, noting textual details, crafting paragraphs, and reflecting
