How will technological innovation continue to transform culture, professional life, health, business
and education? Can technology spin ‘out-of-control’? Will developments such as artificial intelligence, bioengineering, nanotechnology, the knowledge
economy and online education lead to new cultural and social forms? In this course we will explore some of the possibilities and perils of advanced technology. We will draw lessons from a wide range of scholarly and fictional responses to the questions of culture, society and advanced technology, and we will work
to craft creative responses and informed, critical questions of our own.

Shick and Toth (2003) write, “we seem to require periodic reminders that we are still biological organisms living ultimately in a biological system” (p.32).
Do you think there is a natural conflict between biology and technology? Why or why not? Use examples from your own daily life.
