Research Essay #1
Future Technology and Culture: Your speculation and forecast of the future impact upon culture and society of various contemporary and future (predicted/forecast) technologies.
In this assignment, you are to choose a technological topic that interests you. You may write on any topic you wish and if you are interested in writing about a topic other than those included on the list you may do so without seeking my approval.
limit your topics to those things that appear to be feasible within the next 50 years or so. (For instance, time-travel, teleportation, inter-dimensional travel, invisibility cloaking devices, faster-than-light space travel, and unpretentious social media celebrities are examples of things that are probably not very likely in the near future)
In your essay/paper you are to describe how the technology you are reporting on may affect society/culture in the future. You should start the paper with a brief history of the technology you are addressing.
