Langdon Winner

Langdon Winner is a key figure in Science and Technology Studies (STS), known for his ideas about the relationship between technology and society. He argues that technologies are not neutral tools; they can shape social structures, power dynamics, and our everyday lives. Winner explores how certain technologies can enforce specific political or social orders, often favoring certain groups over others. His work encourages us to critically examine not just what technologies do, but also the values and choices embedded in their design and use, prompting important discussions about responsibility and ethics in technological development.
