As touched on in Week 2 Symposium, was the term Technological Determinists. What is this term? How does it relate to society and the way the online world influences us?
Technological Determinism: Independent of other social forces. Determines cause and effect. Determines social change. Autonomous. Independent/Independent Variable. Mono-casual. CAUSALITY.
Technological Determinism shapes society, influences how we act, how we communicate and how we view the world around us. This term equals a SOCIAL CHANGE, which is seen as an highly influential part within history. Society is seen to be determined by society. All of the new technologies being introduced into the market, are transforming the way institutions and individuals see each other within the social interaction levels.
I recommend Visual Memory for more information on this topic, where you will find they have links to theories and evidence on how and why society has changed from technology. If technology advances.. SO DO WE!
