In this course we're trying to give students studying computer science some context to what they're doing by looking at the history of computing, how we communicate ideas, how to estimate solutions to problems when the full data isn't there, as well as looking at more traditional LSEPIs such as computing and the law, intellectual property, privacy and so on.
Here are the tweets so far, in chronological order:
