When I was very young, I had a recurring dream in which the whole world was like a
show prepared specially for me, and that if I wasn’t present to see things...

One year after the end of the course...
If you had to add a tagline to this
course, what would it be?
partial
observation
The solution is not always visible from where you
are standing.
culture
An odd course, very weird, therefore... useful.
Abilities and knowledge that everyone should have,
and not everyone has.
You are what you know.
representation
and modeling
Let’s see the world, but let’s really see it.
Positive
A course about concepts that will give you tags to
add to things you already know but will now be able
to categorize and organize.
The only truth is that there is no absolute truth.
We don’t see the world how it is, but rather how we
are.
A different way to see things.
We are the product of our history.

Objective:
Determine how social differences
affect the Internet usage of first-year
university students.
Findings:
Abilities and performance relating to Internet use differs among
subcultures not only because of the digital divide but also because of
cultural differences.
Subcultures tend to converge over time when placed in the same
context.
