Abstract
Unlike "hard" technology courses that can provide students with practical experience in applications of theory and problem solving in a laboratory setting, courses in technology and society are normally limited by the inability to provide students with an application-oriented environment on topics under study. A pencil and paper methodology entitled Now, Tomorrow and Yesterday is described that can provide a pseudo-lab environment for the understanding of problems at the interface of technology and society.
