Often one wonders whether to study the impact of technology on the company or be the opposite. "It is society that determines and decides which technologies are useful and usable? Is the technology that shapes and, in some way shapes the social life and in a sense, the conditions?
titles have always read that talk about "the impact of technology in education" or "the impact of technology partnerships" etc. It seems as if technological advances that bring about changes in social structures and, in one way or another, make that society will adapt to the size of the blow received.
But consider this form of social change would leave us to a position of helplessness before the groups developing technological advances. We would practically at the mercy of the vagaries of the technology market. Now that utopias are gone right? (That many think.
contrary reading would mean that it is the organization and social structure that conditions of technological advances. And this to me is more consistent. There are numerous examples in which social organization is itself the that causes a specific adaptation of technical progress. This would indicated by the time it ends to end a culture to accept a particular innovation. Often the findings should go a significant way prior to acceptance.
relationships between technology and society are therefore not linear but are the fruit of a meeting which should give the social and technological conditions to occur. It is a working hypothesis that allows us to stop simplify the significance of the impact of technology on society.
