Reading: David Nye, Technology Matters: Questions to Live With, ch. 1

Please answer the following questions, based on the assigned readings. You should write
at least one substantial paragraph for each question (roughly 150 words). Provide a clear
topic sentence and strong organization.

Please submit your answer electronically via T-Square as an inline submission (NOT an
attachment). Be sure to include both your name and formatting. You may do this by
pasting to Notepad first. If you have a Mac, use Firefox and not Safari as your browser
with T-Square. Please include the question in your response in bold print for easier
reading.

If you have problems submitting with T-Square, simply send the assignment to me by
email. Be sure to do so by the deadline.
