COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Internet has become an immensely pervasive and powerful form of communication, one that despite its quick rise has yet to reach most of the world's population.
This class is a survey that will trace the Internet's history, reception, audience, industries, rhetorics, fictional and filmic narratives, and potential as a purveyor and transmitter of culture and values. We will focus on the intersections between Internet and old media culture, popular culture, and critical theories of identity.
