Аннотация

The subject of this course is the interplay of technological development with cultural and political aspects of societies. The first part covers ancient civil and military technologies and reflects on early forms of human organizations of society in light of trade and war. The course then progresses with the emergence of the inventor in the time of the Renaissance and then pro- gresses to the Industrial Revolution and the far-reaching consequences of the emergence of the factory for human lives. In the second part, the course covers various sectors that shaped the 19th and 20th centuries, such as electricity and electronics, automobile design and manufacturing and the electronic gaming industry. The course offers a critical approach to technological determinism and concludes with an outlook on the future ways of interaction between technologies and societies.
