Semester Project Due Fri. May 4, at 5pm (or when you make an in-class presentation): Discuss, in a paper of 10–15 pages or a formal presentation of 20–30 minutes, a topic of your choice related to class material. Keep in mind that the focus should be on social implications of technology more than on the technology itself. At the very least, your paper or presentation should comprise an insightful overview of the topic; ideally, it should state and defend a position or point of view. Be sure to cite sources for nonobvious facts, expert opinions, or verbatim material. (Your bibliographic entries should provide sufficient information, when printed on paper, for a library user to find the original source easily. Note that Wikipedia and similar sites are not original sources.)
