I was lucky enough to enjoy sitting in on Professor Art Pozner’s Emerging Information Technology class on January 17. What an interesting and informative session! I enjoyed their review of the history of technology including mainframes to minis to personal computers to smart phones, etc., as well as history of the internet and its current impact on our politics, friendships, purchasing, and consumer safety.
Our students had insightful comments and observations about the Federal Presidential election process and the role that social media played. Their historical perspective of IT was fueled by Professor Pozner’s enthusiasm and skill in presenting the subject matter.
I taught a similar class at CW (then WBI) in 1987. We all know how profoundly things have changed since then. It is almost miraculous!
