Students enrolled in the course will gain the conceptual tools necessary to understand the social, political, and economic factors associated with a networked society. Issues will range from the theoretical (what is information and how do humans construct it?), to the cultural (how are newer communication technologies different from earlier distance-shrinking and knowledge-building technologies such as telephones?), to the technical (what are the basic architectures of computing networks?).

The Wikipedia assignment requires students to work in small groups to find a Wikipedia article that is controversial or needs work, write a short evaluation of the article, and enter changes they believe should be made to the article.
