The final original research paper is meant to acquaint you with the evolution of a technological artifact in greater depth. Any technology or artifact is acceptable for the paper, after it is approved. For the paper you will choose any product or item you wish (MP3 Player) and you will trace its evolution through time and you should integrate the theories we have learned in the class into the paper to provide an understanding of the evolution of the artifact. The integration of the readings into the paper is mandatory. Any paper that does not refer to and use the readings will receive no higher than a C – the better the integration, the higher the grade. I have posted previous “A” and “bad” papers on the Canvas website.
