Description
Living the eLife-What's your eLife quotient? Do you Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Skype, blog, text, YouTube, and play World or Warcraft-and believe your life is better for it? Many of us are both enthralled and appalled by the rapidly-expanding universe of the new media, and by the increasing cultural pressures to keep up with the latest gadgets. In this course students investigate how individuals and communities use, adapt, appropriate, and are impacted by new media technologies for work, play, and maintaining social ties.
