HIST 185 PZ -Information Revolutions x.0&z.0


Institution: Pitzer

Description: We are constantly reminded that we are living through an information revolution - a historically unprecedented transformation, spurred by ceaseless technological change. But ours is not the first “information age,” nor is it self-evidently the most revolutionary. This course explores two information revolutions - the printing press in the 15th and 16th centuries, and digital communications technologies in the 20th and 21st - to uncover their similarities and differences, and to gain an understanding of the interrelationship between our communbications technologies and our social and political organization.
