What do you think the entirety of social sciences, emerging mostly in the 19th century, grappling with the industrial revolution and modernization were about?!??!??? Machines, evolution of public and private life, work, society... You’re welcome.

Hi
@zeynep, don’t think we have formally met yet. I both admire and am inspired by your work. What I hear you saying: an incredible amount of thought & work .. fields and sub-fields and sub-sub-fields... have been dedicated to grappling with technologies interaction of society.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -
And when we say we need a new field of “Society–Technology Interaction”, it feels like we are ignoring the foundational work done over the last century across many disciplines in grappling with the deep and complex problem of how technology and societies interact.

What I think we mean to say is that the field that is missing—as felt on the ground for those making the products—is the unified design field that puts all that into practice. E.g, Society–Technology Interaction Design. (STxD?)

What is the name of the study for how to design for the ways our relationships, communities, and societies bend and fold? I don’t think there is a name for that yet.

There are studies on every aspect of what you’re talking about. Conferences. Entire disciplines for various aspects. Have been, for decades if not literally centuries. Starting by ignoring all existing critical human knowledge is the problem, not something we need more of.

In fact, the way you seem to think what we need is a catchy new name rather than understanding and confronting the historical and structural forces that intersected with economic incentives and technological developments to put us exactly where we are... Well.

Does anyone really think this was a genuine call for a new field of research or serious inquiry? If it was, then it incredibly naive or willfully ignorant and lazy -as all the replies suggest. If it wasn’t, then what was the real point? Branding, attention capture, ... well done!
