InfoStructure seminar series to challenge intersections between technology and society

Imagine the success of the iPhone without millions of busy people who demand information on the run. Or consider the viability of MySpace without the legion of teens, like, dying to be connected to their social network with one click.

Neither would exist without the other. But too often, information technology is discussed as though it were independent of society, a chasm that graduate students at the University of Illinois are hoping to bridge through a new educational initiative.
