Gilbert Simondon

Gilbert Simondon was a French philosopher who explored how technology and individuals develop together through a process called "individuation." He believed that both technical devices and human identity evolve by resolving internal tensions and becoming more integrated. Instead of viewing technology as separate from humans, Simondon saw it as part of a continuous process of becoming, where objects and people influence and shape each other's development. His ideas help us understand the interconnectedness of innovation, culture, and personal growth, emphasizing that change is a dynamic, ongoing process rather than static or isolated.
