NMD 100 - Introduction to New Media

This introductory course explores what new media are, how they are produced, who produces them, and why they challenge how we think, act, create, and relate to other people. While revolutions in communication technologies have transformed individuals and societies over thousands of years, this course draws on historical context to clarify the current transformation from hierarchic and authoritative modes of cultural organization to network and distributed models. Lecture and discussion format with hands-on laboratory.
