Talk:Mutual shaping

Untitled

I'm considering adding another section on how society cannot be removed from the design process of technology and vice versa. For example, the creation of UI is crucial in determining how quickly society will adopt and adapt to a new application for their mobile device, regardless of how useful the technology may be. Ideas stem from The Mutual Shaping of Technology and Society in Videotex Newspapers: Beyond the Diffusion and Social Shaping Perspectives by Pablo J. Baczkowski.

I am interested in how mutual shaping has been applied in the world of Artificial Intelligence, specifically the use of Social Robots to meet the social and emotional needs of humans. I am considering adding a section that speaks to this. JackieT72 (talk) 17:46, 16 September 2018 (UTC)JackieT72

When reading this page, I'm a little confused about what mutual shaping is. The section on social media makes a little more sense, but I'm not sure on the overall use of this term, and what are some practical examples to help me or anyone reading this article, understand what it is. Looking through this post, I don't see much of an explanation other than society and technology impact each other. I was reading a journal article from the Northwestern Journal by Carolyn Cunningham. She talks about how Science and Technology Studies scholars define it as "where technology is seen as shaped by social processes, and at the same time, our social world changes".. Her article also brings up the term "sociotechnical" which would be an excellent wikipedia page to connect to.

Also in this or any wikipedia article, how do I go about citing a journal article that I got from an online database like Ebsco...Do I cite the database, or the original source? And do I include a link. I'm not sure if the link will work for anyone (I included the permalink) Justmatko (talk) 03:19, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Here are some sources I'm looking at:

"Men Are Like Bluetooth, Women Are Like Wi-Fi": What Feminist Technology Studies Can Add to the Study of Information and Communication Technologies.[1] (This should look pretty familiar to Dr. Cunningham :) )

"Bots and Political Influence: A Sociotechnical Investigation of Social Network Capital." [2]

"Technological Change in a Multicultural Context, Applied Psychology of"[3] (this source seems shaky to me...I like the idea and the general outline...but I can't find it in it's entirety.

"Technology and Social Change"[4] Could be a good article to use if the science direct article doesn't pan out. Justmatko (talk) 04:14, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Zachmcmahon (talk) 20:04, 8 June 2019 (UTC) I think there is the start of something more, I think the background information is there, but a lot of examples and practical application could be added. I also think adding a section discussing technology-push & demand-pull could be appropriate to understand a grounded application of the theory.

"Push-pull-thinking"

"The impact of technology-push and demand-pull policies on technical change – Does the locus of policies matter?"

"The Role of Deployment Policies in Fostering Innovation for Clean Energy Technologies: Insights From the Solar Photovoltaic Industry"

"Do deployment policies pick technologies by (not) picking applications?—A simulation of investment decisions in technologies with multiple applications" Zachmcmahon (talk) 20:04, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Push-Pull-Thinking

Push-Pull-Thinking is best understood by the application of how new technology is created. When new demand for a product is the driving factor behind its creation then it is the "pulled" method, while when a new technology enters the market with new possibilities for application or innovation then it is the "push method."

Examples of Push-Pull-Thinking

It's easier to understand an example of Push-Pull-Thinking where technology is the driving factor as one from an engineering or research and development background.<refhttp://parisinnovationreview.com/articles-en/three-ways-to-drive-innovation</ref> Sony's Walkman personal stereo cassette player would be an example of a technology push where there was no market need.

In cases of Push-Pull-Thinking, where demand is the driving factor, the needs or requirements of society or market its best to take a market research approach to innovation. Innovations regarding safety are often seen as pulled innovations with car airbags and new medical advancements usually listed as examples.
