CYB 300 Emerging Technology Trends

Fall-Spring Semesters

This course uses the sex industry as a lens to explore emerging technology in order to understand the impact of emerging & evolving technologies on organizations and their operations. The sex industry was chosen specifically because it makes us feel uncomfortable, due to its private nature. Using this extreme use case as a starting context, students will gain insights into emerging technologies and how they are impacting the sex industry in order to extrapolate those impacts into a range of other industries and sectors. Students will examine the challenges, opportunities, and ethical dilemmas presented by new and emerging technologies in a range of contexts. Other topics include managing change in organizations as a result of disruption, the benefits and challenges of adapting new technologies, cybersecurity, big data, and legal and privacy issues.
