Information Technology and the Social Order: The (De)Construction of Modern Society and Politics. This paper shall use IT as a case study to explore the means by which technology can (de)construct social and political orders in a modern context. It will be argued that IT possesses the capacity to radically alter social and political interaction in modern society; although not in the ways in which IT hypesters usually suggest. It will be seen that IT promotes, not increased democracy and social interaction, but escapism and anti-social activities. For this reason, modern technology can be said to be (de)constructive; as much destructive of social order as it is constructive. 6 pgs. 11 f/c. 4b.
