Media Technology Studies
To navigate in an information-rich environment, the key in
the future will be the ability to continually learn to use,
critically analyse, reflect on and transform the information
systems in place. A crucial part of this is understanding
the nature, dynamics and management of media technologies.
Challenging the assumption that technologies are neutral and
introduced solely on the basis of efficiency or consumer demand,
the subjects in this stream explore the ways media technologies
are chosen, promoted and contested by competing interest groups.
