Abstract
In this interview, Edgerton criticizes the scope of STS (Science, Technology, and Society) within design, pointing to the redundancy of applying already obvious perspectives to a discipline that deals with invention and use. He further points out that we must abandon the concept of ‘technology’ and replace it with more descriptive, narrow, and useful terms.
