Computer technology has had a significant impact on society. While computer technology has affected almost every aspect of our lives, it is important to understand both the positive and negative implications of computer technology. For this assignment you will research a topic that deals with computers and the impact they have had on society. Your research will require you to find and read 2-3 articles that address the topic you have selected. Once you have gathered enough information about your topic, you will then need to create a slideshow using Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi, etc. that summarizes the topic you selected.

Your slideshow must include a minimum of 10 slides, with each slide including information, pictures, etc. about your topic. When describing your topic you must provide a detailed description of the topic as well as a summary of the various ways in which people are impacted by the technology you are describing. For example, if you wanted to research how computer technology presents issues around freedom of speech, you could address some of the challenges that we face with hate propaganda on the internet, internet censorship, etc. and provide ideas and solutions that may address some of these challenges.
