Sommario/riassunto

General technology, the study of the fundamental principles of technology, combines technical and social science knowledge with philosophical considerations. The book uses numerous examples to deal with the diverse problems and facets of mechanization, in which human actors and technical artifacts combine to form socio-technical systems. It analyses the conditions and consequences of the use of technology as well as the pattern of technical development.
