Analyzing an Issue or Event in Technology

Analyzing an Issue or Event in Technology through the Lenses of History and the Humanities

For this second milestone, due in Module Four, you will analyze your issue/event from Milestone One through the history and humanities lenses. This will provide you with a chance to practice analyzing your issue/eventthrough these lenses and receive feedback on this practice attempt.

First, review the overviews and resources in Modules One through Three, as well as the Four Lenses document from Module One. Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of history, and address the following:  How does this issue/event interact with the history lens and impact social issues?  In what ways does the history lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the social issue(s) that inform your issue/event? Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the humanities by exploring the following questions:  How is this issue/event portrayed creatively in society? What is the message or commentary of this representation?  How does this representation interact with you in your personal and professional lives?
