Event sheds light on technologys impact on civility
Ryan Flood – A crowded room of students, professors and academics converged in the Alexander Library on the College Avenue campus last night to discuss the effects rapidly changing technologies have on civility at "Uncivil Gadgets? Changing Technologies and Civil Behavior."
“We want to establish a dialogue discussing what civility is, what it means, in hopes to establish a community which focuses more on being kind to one another,” said Kathleen Hull, a co-founder of Project Civility.
The panelists, all professors and experts in the fields of communication or technology, discussed how changes in technology are affecting civility in society today, touching on a wide range of examples from classroom scenarios to the realm of the video game world.
Privacy is a challenge as society adapts to new technologies, said Nancy Kranich, a University librarian.
