This course will focus on critically exploring the internet and software 
for its social and political impact, while learning the technical tools 
to intervene in purposeful ways. Instead of simply accepting and 
consuming the technologies presented to us, we'll critically investigate 
the intentions and effects of these technologies, and ways they can be 
harnessed or exploited for meaningful social change.

You will walk away with

   * A deeper understanding and awareness of the subliminal effects of
     the internet, software, interfaces and interaction choices of the
     tools we interact with everyday
   * A technical understanding of how websites and webpages are rendered,
     and how they can  be manipulated through easily accessible
     browser-based tools
   * Hands-on experience with programming languages and tools for
     building your own web-based work - HTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery
   * Practical knowledge for how to organize data, scrape websites, and
     classify and retrieve documents from large corporations.
