Technology, Human Communication and Information Transfer focuses on the relationship between technology and human communication. The course explores four major questions: (1) What are the implications of living in a culture that values technology as a solution to many of its problems? (2) What are the primary effects of the rapid development of technology and information systems on individual and group communications, organizational problem-solving and decision-making, and on the transfer of knowledge from one sector of society to another? (3) How do communications and information theories clarify the technology-human communication interface and provide a foundation for decision-making? (4) What are the differences between academic discourse and workplace discourse?
