In this class, students will survey the lineage of the progression of the "information society" and deepen their understanding of its essence by examining the relationship between the cyber society and the traditional real-world society. The emphasis is not only on understanding the technical aspects but also on setting themes for group learning to gain perspectives on living through and utilizing the cyber society from a global standpoint. |
