HON-298J Honors Colloquium: Knowledge in Internet Age
An investigation into the nature of knowledge and how it is influenced by the internet. We live in an age with instant access to a wealth of online information. We will examine how knowledge is constructed: how it is influenced by the social, how the scientific process validates knowledge, and how we integrate history into our understanding of the world. This foundation will help us understand how the various actors construct and use the internet and, ultimately, how it influences what we know and what we can know.
