Kurs B (Shomron):Â Transforming into a Digital Society*This seminar aims to explore how the ever-increasing adoption of new digital technologies is altering the human experience. During the seminar, we will reflect on issues like surveillance, remote services, the digital divide, privacy, artificial intelligence, the quantified self, and information overload to better understand the digitization of society. The seminar will also discuss central theoretical approaches such as technological determinism and social constructivism. While the course reading will include theoretical and empirical scientific literature, the consumption of news, movies, television shows, books, podcasts, and social media influencers is highly encouraged during the semester.
