Class Reflection From starting with a discussion about dolphins thrown on tables to a dystopian future, we have covered a lot of ground throughout the semester. I had so much fun with this class this semester. It was a slow start at first, with the creation of the syllabus and assignments taking up the first […]

Reflection

April 27, 2023

Going into this class, I wasn’t too sure about what kinds of things we would be learning about and focusing on, and I had never really heard of the “information age” before. The history classes I have taken throughout college have primarily been ancient or medieval history, with the exception of two colonial history classes […]

Smart Devices and AI I missed class Tuesday (4/18), but the topic of Smart Devices is very interesting to me since I know there are huge privacy concerns surrounding them.

Reflection on the Class

I still frequently think about the dolphin on the table. Taking the dolphin off the table, from the discussions we have had in class I have grown interested in the information age as an area to study. The coffeehouses (now the dolphin is back on…

A Reflection of the Course

April 26, 2023

Going into this class I thought that the course was going to be taught similarly Professor McClurken’s other classes centered around the history of technology, but I soon realized that the course was turning into a completely new kind of experience. I love how this course utilized various digital tools to provide a new sense …

Class Reflection!

April 26, 2023

Overall, my experience in the class was incredibly positive, and of all the four hundred-level classes I could have selected to take, I’m really glad it was this one. The freeform class style was super interesting and felt incredible to be a part of. I have never had a class where I had so much…

Reflection Post

April 26, 2023

Overall, I enjoyed the class. The structure and assignments for the class were fun and got me really engaged with the material. The assignments that I believe I learned the most information from was the infographic assignment and the Final. The thing I was most interested in was advertising and propaganda. The creating propaganda assignment …
