Mission
We increasingly look to technology and the knowledge it makes available to improve efficiency, expand productivity, and extend opportunity. With haphazard application, technological innovations can complicate the learning and working processes, instead of improving communication or providing more useful and reliable knowledge.
The Sara Fine Institute is dedicated to examining the ways technology affects our personal interactions, communications, and relationships with family, friends, professional colleagues, as well as with governmental and educational institutions.
The mission of the Sara Fine Institute is to examine these social, political, medical, ethical and educational issues via innovative research projects and partnerships with the Pittsburgh community.
