New technologies have created new capabilities, including access, capture, speed, and permanence. Technology often has a more wide-ranging effect than the purpose for which it is chosen. As a result, advances in technology present both opportunities and threats to individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
To Prepare:
- Choose a technology that you believe has brought about social change.
- Consider who has benefited and who has lost as a result of this change.
•Reflect on whether the development of this technology is consistent with Walden University's vision, mission, and commitment to social change.
Post by Day 3 an explanation of how the invention and widespread adoption of the technology you selected effected social change. Analyze who benefited or lost out due to the adoption of the technology. Evaluate whether or not you believe the development of this technology as well as technology development in general is consistent with Walden's vision, mission, and commitment to social change and why.
