This module will introduce you to fundamental ideas in information science, a multidisciplinary field that studies the intersection of information, technology, and people. Most individuals, organizations, and governments are quick to adopt new technologies, but rarely take the time to consider how that technology is shaping their behaviors and, conversely, how users shape the development of future technologies. Successful completion of this course will give you the conceptual tools necessary to understand the social, political, and economic factors associated with a networked society.

• Explain how information & communication technologies (ICTs) shape national and global events.
• Discuss how the historical events leading to the information society have shaped our modern-day use of ICTs.
• Demonstrate critical thinking in evaluating causal arguments regarding the relationship between technology and society, including analyzing major assertions, background assumptions, and explanatory evidence.
