Week 2 (Introduction to Digital Marketing)
Lecture 1
Technology
- The application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes
phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment (Britannica)
- The creation, usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems, or methods or
organization, to solve a certain purpose
Merging technology and humans
-> Even though we are merging with technologies when control and knowledge is lost, people often feel
vulnerable, frustrated, and angry, as if the machine has somehow invaded them or taken something from
them (Downey, 1998 as cited in Jackson, 2002)
Argumented bodies: Technology will allow us to make modifications to our body, senses and
physiological processes, and it will provide us with enhanced memory, communication and productivity
E.g. Exosuits, Brain implants to improve memory
-> Lines between human and computer capabilities are blurred -> Technology is becoming increasingly
invisible
