This section of WR 152 will look at how the use of language and the form of language has changed because of technology. From the pen to the phone, to the Internet, to AI, our use of language has been influenced by the changes in technology around us. Through the production of verbal and non-verbal artifacts, students learn how to master a variety of discourse and research methods, how to read various cultural texts, consider ethical issues, and learn how to produce their own texts in response.
