PERCEPTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY
.1.1.1 Background
ICT (information & communication technology) interacts with our lives and
environment
- Impacts various things
- Offers solutions to problems and creates new problems
The technology debates
- Aged
o Philosophy based as opposed to theory (epistemology of science)
- No solution
o Complicated
- Who are you? what is your position?
o What is other’s position
Holds four positions:
1. Instrumentalism
a. Believe technology is anything manmade (pen, computers)
b. Technology in itself does nothing, it is there because we want it to be
there and we decide how to use it.
c. Technology itself does not affect us
i. Example: Axe we made it because it was decided, and I can use it
how I like because it is my choice. The item will not do anything
itself unless I decide what to use it for.
ii. People kill people; gun would only kill someone if we decide to use it
2. Determinism
a. Believe technology in itself has influence; we cannot control it
b. The technology as an artifact has an effect on people and society that we
otherwise wouldn’t have done
c. Although the creation of the technology had a certain idea to be used for,
it can still be used for something other than originally designed
i. Guns indeed kill people; if less guns = less murder
ii. Guns itself have the effect to getting people to kill
d. People argue children should not play violent games because it will lead to
that behavior
i. Technology originally designed for entertainment, the game in itself
shapes the behavior
1. The person is not the master of behavior, but the technology
is
e. Often oppose innovation because lead to more problems
3. Constructivism
a. Believes that technology doesn’t have a mind of its own, but it does act in
a way that society decides one a meaning is allocated to it
i. Collective decides the use of technology
1. In due time the meaning of technology will be agreed upon;
after the meaning the technology may act autonomously
