Are lucrative careers in information technology, business, and marketing slighting the importance of humanities in our higher education curriculum? This article discusses the moral implications of a technologically reliant world. I would say that since intellectual property rights are constantly being questioned - how to successfully attribute recognition and understand what is plaigerism and what is not.
Delbanco goes on to say that the readings and texts of humanities classes help build a moral standing - seeing how past centuries wrestled with morality. Imagine how they would view our technology today and how hard they would wrestle with our technological moral questions today.
My thought in how this is relevant to our technology class is - do we really think about the moral implications of the technology we use - or at least how it impacts us in a social or moral way? Over the course of this semester I have been more open to technology in the classroom but I still wonder sometimes whether or not we fully understand the future implications of this technological boom.
