🌐Computer systems as social and semiotic technologies

“Determinism inhibits the development of democratic controls on technology because it suggests that all interventions are futile. This is as true for science as it is for technology (Bijker, 1985; Collins and Pinch, 1993).”

(Bijker, 1995, p. 281)
