reflection question
In a short writing of roughly 500 words, please respond to all of the following questions:
- Now that you’ve been introduced to a variety of theories of technology, how do you now understand what it is that makes something a technology? Next, reconsider Cook’s paper, “Design and Responsibility”; what does Cook mean by natural systems, human systems, and artifactual systems? How might these distinctions help us to understand the nature of technological artifacts, such as computers and software programs? Furthermore, what role do value infrastructures play in the designing of computers and software programs? Please be sure to define your terms and give examples.
