Introduction
In the past decade digital technology has resulted in massive social changes that have affected nearly every aspect of society. How has digital technology evolved and changed? What has triggered these changes? How have these changes impacted the various people, institutions and policies within society? Has technology impacted society in a positive or negative manner?
Task
You are a social scientist. Create a five-minute video “rant” (in the style of Rick Mercer) aimed at high school and university students to better inform them about the effects of digital technology. Your goal is to understand the effects of digital technology on youth culture through the lens of one (or more) of the three social sciences and create a video demonstrating that understanding. Your rant should be creative, entertaining, informative, and organized so that viewers will have a better understanding of the effects of digital technology on society and their lives.
Standards of Quality
Your product must meet the following standards of quality:
the video must be professionally edited with music, images, and speaking (you should be talking and not typing your information) the video must examine the effects of digital technology through the lens of sociology, psychology, and/or anthropology (use at least 3-4 social science theories or theorists to analyze these effects) be at least 3-4 minutes in length include your personal beliefs and examples about the effects of digital technology (take a stand on the effects of digital technology and don’t try to be objective) overall, the video must answer the following questions (there are no right or wrong answers):
In what ways do advances in digital technology shape, influence and reflect society? How will digital technology affect/shape/influence the future?
What would each of the three disciplines and theorists say about digital technology and its results, effects, benefits, and drawbacks?
