摘要

For Stephen Lax, critical economic and sociological approaches to communications technologies far too often commit the opposite error of determinist accounts. While the latter see technology as a singular and autonomous factor in social change, the former tends to take technology at face value or neglect its changing nature and play down its possible effects. Understatement compensates for overstatement. Lax's own approach sees technologies as social products, but also sees such products as having technological consequences in their uses and development. This seems reasonable enough - there are, after all, crucial differences between analogue and digital systems - but what gives the approach a keener edge is that attention to the principles of technological change facilitate, and give support to, historical understanding.
