For CS 121 I expect you to research the topics presented in class so you can bring up-to-date information to our in-class discussion.
Further, I expect you to suggest current topics to the class for discussion.
To help you with this, I've provided a list of websites that
discuss technology, culture, society, and ethics, or some combination thereof.
If you find a good source for articles, please let me know.
Where do you find your digital news?
Clearly, I have not read every post or article on the following websites. Be warned that you may find some of the posts objectionable.
