Define at least two approaches (available in the lectures and readings) to understanding the history of technology, and apply them to the history of computing as reflected in the two documents above. Consider the following questions: How does coding (programming) reflect your two chosen approaches? How does the history of machine learning (artificial intelligence) reflect each of your two approaches? Compare the two technologies (coding and machine language), in the terms offered by your chosen approaches or methods for understanding technology.
Write an essay in complete sentences and paragraphs that addresses the above questions. Your answers to these questions form your argument or claim, and you use statements from the two articles as evidence to support this thesis.
CITATION INSTRUCTIONS: Cite these sources in parentheses after any quote or claim that comes from the document itself – for example (Ford, section 4). To cite the course lectures, write (“What Is Technology” lecture). If you need to cite other sources, use the following citation form: https://jah.oah.org/submit/stylesheet/
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Your paper should be 500-1000 words long. Put your name on the first page, along with a title for the paper that expresses its central claim. State this claim in your introduction and support it with evidence drawn primarily from the reading under consideration.
