"Technology and Society provides a broad, balanced perspective on the impact of technology on global society since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Its organization reflects the many facets of our world that have felt the effects of technology: economics, government, the arts, medicine, and interpersonal communications. Discussions of the many technology issues of today - particularly privacy and society - appear in every chapter as they relate to the topics at hand. Throughout the book readers will find hundreds of web links and references to additional material. Things to Think About sections appear at the end of each chapter and urge students to think and write critically about a variety of technological topics. Ideal for use in numerous courses taught across the curriculum, Technology and Society will help students turn outward from their technical studies and look at technology from a global perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
