Technology and Social Communication
The document discusses the interplay between technology and social communication, emphasizing the roles of technological determinism and social constructivism. It highlights the impact of technology on social behavior, governance, and the construction of norms and institutions within media contexts. The workshop presented insights from sociology that examine how technology influences and shapes societal frameworks while being shaped by socio-political structures.
