I'm considering adding another section on how society cannot be removed from the design process of technology and vice versa. For example, the creation of UI is crucial in determining how quickly society will adopt and adapt to a new application for their mobile device, regardless of how useful the technology may be. Ideas stem from The Mutual Shaping of Technology and Society in Videotex Newspapers: Beyond the Diffusion and Social Shaping Perspectives by Pablo J. Baczkowski.

I am interested in how mutual shaping has been applied in the world of Artificial Intelligence, specifically the use of Social Robots to meet the social and emotional needs of humans. I am considering adding a section that speaks to this. JackieT72 (talk) 17:46, 16 September 2018 (UTC)JackieT72

When reading this page, I'm a little confused about what mutual shaping is. The section on social media makes a little more sense, but I'm not sure on the overall use of this term, and what are some practical examples to help me or anyone reading this article, understand what it is. Looking through this post, I don't see much of an explanation other than society and technology impact each other. I was reading a journal article from the Northwestern Journal by Carolyn Cunningham. She talks about how Science and Technology Studies scholars define it as "where technology is seen as shaped by social processes, and at the same time, our social world changes". . Her article also brings up the term "sociotechnical" which would be an excellent wikipedia page to connect to.

Also in this or any wikipedia article, how do I go about citing a journal article that I got from an online database like Ebsco...Do I cite the database, or the original source? And do I include a link. I'm not sure if the link will work for anyone (I included the permalink) Justmatko (talk) 03:19, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Here are some sources I'm looking at:

"Men Are Like Bluetooth, Women Are Like Wi-Fi": What Feminist Technology Studies Can Add to the Study of Information and Communication Technologies.[1] (This should look pretty familiar to Dr. Cunningham :) )

"Bots and Political Influence: A Sociotechnical Investigation of Social Network Capital." [2]

"Technological Change in a Multicultural Context, Applied Psychology of"[3] (this source seems shaky to me...I like the idea and the general outline...but I can't find it in it's entirety.

"Technology and Social Change"[4] Could be a good article to use if the science direct article doesn't pan out. Justmatko (talk) 04:14, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
