The Social Shaping of Technology
Abstract
Studies of the Social Shaping of Technology (SST) emerged in the 1980s through a critique of the prevailing ‘technological determinism’ tradition, which had limited its scope of enquiry to monitoring the social adjustments required by technological progress.1 In contrast, SST researchers ‘problematized’ technological change by showing that it is patterned by the conditions of its creation and use, rather than developing solely according to an inner technical logic.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
