UNIT 1. Introduction 1.Five Things We Need to Know About Technological Change, Neil Postman, Address to New Tech '98 Conference , March 27, 1998 Neil Postman, a well-known cultural critic, suggests that computer technology is too important to be left entirely to the technologists. "Embedded in every technology," he says, "is a powerful idea…." 2.Whom to Protect and How?, Robert J. Blendon et al., Brookings Review , Winter 2001 "The United States," the authors say, "is now in the second stage of a major technological transformation " that is changing American life. Some people are calling for more federal government protection. 3.On the Nature of Computing, Jon Crowcroft, Communications of the ACM , February 2005 This article has a distinctly different tone than the previous piece. The author states, " Occupying a third place in human intellectual culture, computing is not bound by the need to describe what does exist (as in natural science) or what can be built in the real world (as in engineering)." UNIT 2. The Economy 4.The Productivity Paradox, Stephen S. Roach, The New York Times , November 30, 2003 Ever since some economists began to doubt that computers contribute to a company's productivity , others have been trying to prove the opposite. Productivity figures for the past couple of years seem to be on the side of computers. Not so fast, says Stephen Roach, chief economist for Morgan Stanley. 5.The Big Band Era, Christopher Swope, Governing , January 2005 Even as cities like Philadelphia are working to transform the entire city into a wireless hot spot -with government as the internet service provider of last resort-communications companies are fighting to keep local governments out of the broadband business. 6.The New Gatekeepers, Gregory M. Lamb, The Christian Science Monitor , May 6, 2004 Of the $35 billion dollars worth of purchases that search engines generated in 2004, Google accounted for a healthy share. This means that a lot of companies are going to pay Google to be included among search results. 7.The Software Wars, Paul De Palma, The American Scholar , Winter 2005 The article argues that software development is like military procurement and suffers many of the same woes, including excessive complexity and cost overruns. UNIT 3. Work and the Workplace 8.Brain Circulation: How High-Skill Immigration Makes Everyone Better Off, Anna Lee Saxenian, Brookings Review , Winter 2002 Do immigrants displace native workers ? Is the United States siphoning off talent from countries that can ill afford to lose it? This Berkeley professor argues that high-skill immigration is more complex than that. 9.Software, Stephen Baker and Manjeet Kripalani, Business Week Online , March 1, 2004 Highly paid programming jobs are being outsourced to places like India and other countries with educated workforces who are willing to earn less than Americans. 10.Letter from Silicon Valley, Rebecca Vesely, The Nation , May 26, 2003 The recession in Silicon Valley has been difficult for many. Santa Clara County, California combines some of the highest unemployment in the country with some of the highest h
