Moral Responsibility for Computing Artifacts: “The Rules”.
The Reading Assessment is intended as an opportunity for you to look closely at one of the articles assigned for the course, and at the same time find – through individualized research – design writing and design case studies that pertain to your process and the development of your concept. This assessment should be at least two pages and include another page for your bibliography. Please describe what design processes grabbed you and consider these questions: What cultural context does the design process you cite or research come from? What cultural framing does the design that you discuss present or push forward? Is there an invention that you cite that moves society in a specific direction? How does this process relate to your concept and what you foresee as shaping a future design? What vision of the future do the articles that you cite (even if they are historical) convey? Does this vision of the future align with your own? Your bibliography should include the cited article from our course reading list, at least one additional scholarly writing on design (this can be culturally specific to another time or place), and a citation of a case study either through an article on that or a link to documentation (both is preferable).
