This document discusses the politics of technology and how technological artifacts can be political. It defines politics as relating to power, membership, authority, order, and freedom. Technologies can change power relationships in society and exclude certain groups. Specific examples are given, like Robert Moses designing low bridges to exclude buses on Long Island and Baron Haussmann designing wide streets in Paris. The document examines how technologies can be designed to maintain a particular political order and considers whether some technologies are inherently political based on how they structure relationships around centralization, equality, freedom, and authority.
