Definition(s)

  • The social shaping of technology (SST) is a broadly defined term used to identify the approaches that emerged in the mid-1980s with the aim of understanding the significance of technology in society and the influences of the broader social context on technological innovation. SST approaches developed as a critique of types of technological determinism and of linear models constructed to explain innovation.
