Technological consequences: the very essence of studying technology emerged from the far outcry to stop the technological monster. In the early phase and still, some believed that technology is out of control or technology is determining your life. Upon this perception, the scholars started to scrutinise the technology itself rather than considering it as a component bigger social structure such as capitalism. Later this emphasis misleads to mere unpacking of the 'black box of technology'. Winner criticizes that escape of 'consequence of technology' from scrutiny is the biggest mistake and it should be equally investigated with more emphasis. His contribution is a navigator for upcoming scholars.
The black box of technology: even though winner criticizes the complete focus on unpacking the black box of technology, he agrees with the basic assumption that it is the need of the hour to understand what socially and culturally determines and constitutes the technological innovations and artefacts. The serious debates and response papers popularise this kind of concepts and make better clarity.
