Advertising Technology and the Digital World

Credit: 3 hours.

Digital communication and information technologies have profoundly changed nearly every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Advertising stands as the central funding model for many of these technologies, including search engines, social networks, news media, and a host of other platforms and services. This course systematically examines the role of these technologies in shaping our lives—and the role of the advertising industry in shaping these technologies. It is designed to prepare students to live and work in our increasingly digital world, and to understand the impact of digital communication and information technologies in their lives.
