| Course Description: | As computers become ubiquitous aspects of everyday life, they have become increasingly popular subjects for filmmakers.

Our focus will be on understanding the societal perceptions of computing as reflected by movies such as "the Desk Set" (1957), "2001, a Space Odyssey" (1968), "The Forbin Project" (1969), "TRON" (1982), "WarGames" (1983), "Hackers" (1995) and others. |
