1. Question: You must complete all three essays. These essays are worth 50 points each, so
please take the time to think through your answers and review them before submitting.
These essays should be a minimum of five paragraphs in length each. They should
contain a clear thesis statement in the first paragraph (an answer to the question!). Make
sure your explanation is clear and that you provide specific examples. Any quotes from
the readings or external materials must include quotation marks and an in-text citation.
Failure to identify quoted material could result in a 0 for the exam and a formal academic
dishonesty charge. (TCOs 1 & 2) Do you agree with the assertion that we are now living
in a third-great technological transformation-the Knowledge Revolution? Have
computers truly changed our lives so much that we can call this a revolution like the
Industrial Revolution of the 18th century? Support your answer providing specific
comparisons from the two periods.
2. Question: Identify two authors from your readings and compare their views on the
impact of technology on a culture. To what degree does each author see the technology
affecting social change? Were there special interests involved in the decision making
concerning the development and use of the technology? Provide specific examples.
3. Question: (TCOs 3 & 4) How have changes in communications technologies affected
how we write and what we write? How do wikis and blogs compare to traditional forms
such as textbooks and newspaper editorials? Please be specific.
