Abstract
The technology industry offers exciting opportunities to practice social science research. Understanding the impact of technology on society and improving that impact is now a career path that utilizes advanced social scientific training and literature, from grand theory to empirical methods and studies. Applying this training to industry problems is enriching and brings about new appreciation for many types of scientific literature.
