technological device

Please choose a technological device, a software program (including videogames), or a website (including social media sites like facebook or twitter) that you would like to examine in depth from the perspective of trying to identify what Turkle calls the “subjective side of technology.” You can choose to write as a memoirist (like Gathman about her relationship to her cell phone) or as an ethnographer (like Chan, exploring slashdot.org “addicts”). If you’re acting as a memoirist, you will need to identify the key ways in which you relate to your topic of investigation emotionally (What range of feelings does the technology evoke? What impact does it have on you economically, socially, or in terms of your personal identity? Do you think others perceive you differently as a result of your engagement to this technology?). If you’re acting as an ethnographer, you will want to either spend time with one or more people using the technology, take notes about what they are doing, and probe their perceptions of themselves vis-a-vis the technology. Your paper will need to let readers know something about the technology you’ve chosen and situate it within a larger cultural context. If you’re acting as an ethnographer, you will want to let us know something about the people you’re observing, as well as situating them within a larger context.
Use MLA format, and academic language. Length: Around 5 pages (longer is fine.)
Required readings on BB under course documents: Turkle: “Inner History”, Gathman (about cell phones) and Chan (about slashdot.org)
