Technological Assemblages

Technological assemblages refer to the combination of various technologies, systems, and human interactions that come together to create a specific function or experience. This concept highlights how different elements—like devices, software, users, and cultural practices—interact and shape each other. For example, a smartphone is not just a device; it includes apps, internet connectivity, user habits, and social norms. Understanding technological assemblages helps us see how technology impacts our lives and how we, in turn, adapt and change these technologies through our actions and needs.
