Technology and society

Technology and society refers to the relationship between technological development and social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental change. The academic study of these relationships is commonly associated with science and technology studies, an interdisciplinary field that examines how science and technology influence society and how social institutions, values, and culture shape technological development. Research on technology and society considers the effects of technological change on areas including communication, work, governance, inequality, the environment, ethics, and everyday life.
