Technology’s pace continues to accelerate, sometimes leaving us in the dust. This course will give you a general understanding of several important advances in technology including: the internet and the cloud; cell phones and social media; robotics and 3-D printing; self-driving vehicles; blockchain and cryptocurrency; and AI. This introductory course will offer a broad overview of these complex subjects, with an emphasis on building understanding rather than exploring each subject in depth or debating ethical questions. No prior technical knowledge is required, however, come with a curious, open mind. Together we will jump on the raging tech train and see what we can learn.
