appropriate technology movement  

Definición

  • The underlying philosophy of the appropriate technology (AT) movement continues to be a provocative approach to directing development and studying technology. At the heart of the movement is the idea of technology choice: Alternative technologists assert that there are many possibilities for adopting technologies, each having a social consequence, and these possibilities must be evaluated in light of the long-range needs of the community where the technology will be used. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Appropriate Technology Movement]
