The main argument of the article is primarily focused on the critique of certain concepts used by Pinch and Bijker in their theory of social construction of facts and artefacts. Even though Russell agrees with the umbrella idea of the social construction of technology, he negates the idea of relevant groups and relativism of knowledge. His major critique is focused on equating science and technology or removing its distinction. He also stresses how a relativist viewpoint misses certain sections of society who are never part of the so-called dominant ideology. He argues that theories such as the labour process give a wider spectrum to understand human and technological interaction and its consequences. His major argument is also rooted in the critique of the elite evolutionary methodology of SCOT in understanding the technology.
