History
Undergraduate Seminar
W 12:10-2PM
In recent years, public conversations about the relationship between technology and work seem to have been conducted with particular fervor: claims of revolutionary ease and freedom sit side-by-side with dystopian visions of exploitation, surveillance, and growing alienation. Will technological development lead to widespread deskilling or a new "sharing economy"? Will it enrich the few at the expense of the many or bring general prosperity? Are Uber, Etsy, and Amazon vanguards of an ideal future or harbingers of doom?
