Analyze Technology Using Interdisciplinary Theories & Methods
A notable skill that I was able to develop during school that sticks out to me is being able to analyze technology that I see and interact with in the world. My very first class in the DICE program, I really didn’t know what to expect or know exactly what we would be learning. In that intro class, I was pleasantly surprised with the content we were learning. We looked at how civilization first adapted to various technologies throughout history which set us up for our final project in the class which was to speculate on a certain kind of technology that will have an impact on society in the future.
For my final project in the intro class, I wrote a paper on automation which talked about automation's current effect on society and how it will impact people’s lives in the future. This was such an interesting topic to undertake for myself because prior to taking the intro class, I really wasn’t in a position to make any claim towards this subject. Learning about how people adapt to technology and changing technology through the course content though put me in a position where I felt comfortable taking on a project such as this. With the skills I gained taking the intro class, I feel that it not only prepared me for the more advanced classes within the DICE program but it also prepared me to be able to analyze current technology that we interact with every day but also new technology that comes out. |
