COS 117 Technology, Faith, and Society

This course explores the intersections of technology, the Christian faith, and society. Even though technology has cultural, social, organizational, and material aspects, people are often naïve digital natives who imbibe its use uncritically. This course will explore the social impetus for technological innovation, a brief history of technology with an emphasis on 20th/21st century life, and several arenas of social life that are impacted by technology. The relationship between the Christian faith and technological progress will be woven throughout, with an emphasis on how to approach technology from a Christian perspective. 3 hour(s).
