Proposal for a ‘Theories of technology‘ workshop at HacktionCamp 2022:
Come find out the answers to the age-old questions1:
- What is the relationship between humans and technology?
- Are technologies good or bad?
- Are people or technologies dominant?
- What is new or the same?
- Are technologies alive?
To debate these questions with an accessible inclusion of some ideas from theoretical thinking around technology and technologies. This will hope to inform our work with people and technologies.
1 Ultimate answers may not be included, but there will probably be thought-provoking discussion2.
2 No warranty of workshop facilitator’s knowledge, expertise or other suitability.
