Marc Prensky's "Emerging online life of the digital native" and Dave Weinberger's "A New World" both present
different views of contemporary internet users. In light of your own experiences with new technologies do you think they are accurate portrayals? Discuss why or why not with specific examples.
Below are some sources which I have consulted in anticipation of this exciting undertaking.
Source 1:
From: Journal of Planning Education and Research (http://jpe.sagepub.com)
Title: The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture
Author: Ann Forsyth
This article explores how we are in an age of a new technology and calls "our world, the world of
the Information Age". It emphasizes and compliments the host text for this question and offers so extra ideas and information. This text adds to my argument as I am saying that yes the host text by Prensky and Weinberger, paints an accurate picture of modern society and information technology users.The Forsyth article agrees with and adds to the argument that I want to make.
Source 2:
Title: When old technologies were new: thinking about electric communication in the nineteenth centuary
Author: Carolyn Marvin
Publisher:Oxford University Press
This text really looks at old technologies and how they affected societies before us. I'm a firm believer in the whole learn at where we came from so we know where we are going. I think this source could be useful in evaluating how technologies change and alter societies. She makes the argument that technologies then changed them as much as our technology has changed us.
Source 3:
Title: Communication, technology and society
Author: Lelia Green
Green talks about how technology has become a constant idea in everyday life. She also looks extensivley at how all of these communicative technologies are closely linked to society and culture. Most interestingly she looks at what drives technological change.
This text will be useful as it will provide examples and evidence of my argument and that is that the hosty texts are correct.
Source 4:
Title: Under technology's thumb
Author:William Leiss
Leiss looks at the wider consequences of technology, rather than the benefits. This source disagress with the other sources but its points are still very valid. Leiss adds some tension within my essay. Because technology does have some negative sides and as the title suggests we are in fact under the thumb of technology.
Source 5:
Title: Thinking constructively about science, technology, and society education
Author: Dennis W. Cheek
This is more of an analytical source, it analyses technologies effects on society rather than evaluating it. Cheek really looks at all aspects of modern society and i found his points and I ideas to be invalid so I may use some of his ideas or quotes but I will not use alot. He agrees with the main source but he seems left of the central point that I will be trying to make.
