STSC 088: Who Owns the Past
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Kuklick. Stories told about the past have long been understood as moral lessons. An historical narratives have also inevitably been succeptible to partisan construction--to different readings by opposed parties. But the strength of appeals to the past is not a constant: historical experience has at some times and in some places been seen as irrelevant to selection of courses of pratical action. Today, in the United States as well as in many other parts of the world, appeals to historical precedent carry considerable weight and are made for all manner of purposes. This course will discuss the uses of history in contemporary and past situations, drawing exaples from the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

STSC 160: The History of the Information Age
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Humanities & Social Science Sector. Class of 2010 & beyond. Ensmenger. Certain new technologies are greeted with claims that, for good or ill, they must transform our society. The two most recent: the computer and the Internet. But the series of social, economic, and technological developments that underlie what is often called the "Information Revolution" include much more than just the computer. In this course, we explore the history of informtion technology and its role in contemporary society. We will explore both the technologies themselves--from telephones to computers to video games--as well as their larger social, economic and political context. To understand the roots of these ideas we look at the pre-history of the comptuer, at the idea of the "post industrial" or "information society," at parallels with earlier technolgies and at broad currents in the development of American society.
