Technology, Cognition & Culture Lecture Series

This series traces the evolution of information technologies and their influence on civilization. It explores the passage from oral to written, from manuscript to print, and from print to electronic communication and its global network that instantaneously transmits words, numbers, ideas, and images to all corners of the earth. The influence of these communications media on the management of knowledge, cognitive and technological developments, and cultural history is examined, as well as the role these media play at the interfacing of scholarship and scientific, humanistic, and social history.
