Concept: Technological determinism
The essay is poorly written with
multiple typos.
One of the themes we’ve discussed this quarter has been media influence. How much do the media
we consume affect our behaviors and ways of thinking? There no single answer to this question.
Technological determinism and media affordances are two concepts that allow us to examine issues
of influence in more specific ways.
Technological determinism is the position that technologies have the capacity to fundamentally
shape some social or material reality. In essence, when people assume a deterministic outcome
they reduce all other potential factors. If a policy-maker believes that video games cause violence,
then the cause is built into the very technology; other issues like age, income, social background are
deemed significantly less important. Of course, technology is used within context by people with
different and complex backgrounds. To say that a technology determines a single outcome for all
users is to probably overstate the influence.
An example of this would be Mary Pilon’s story on Wired.com, “Instagram is Ruining Vacation.” In
the story, Pilon talks about the rise of phones and selfies at vacation destinations. The article itself
walks back some of the determinism present in the title. The author acknowledges that annoying
tourism photography isn’t new. Pilon then argues that Instagram, with it’s ease and pervasiveness,
represents a new turn. The author relates a story about a recent hiking trip to a canyon and wanting
to get a perfect Instagram shot. “To get the shot, I was seated on the ledge, and I’ve spent a fair
amount of time hiking and climbing. But still I WAS SITTING ON THE EDGE OF A CANYON. With or
without my smartphone, it was stupid.” And here is the core of the deterministic belief. The
technology didn’t drive her to crawl out on that ledge, it might have been a factor, but lots of
Instagramers don’t risk life and limb for a photo. There were a constellation of factors that drove her
out on that ledge, but the article reduces this complexity to a single technological cause: Instagram.
The relationship of Instagram to action relates to another course concept, media affordances. When
we look at affordances, we think about how the medium affects the message. A novel and its movie
adaptation are different because they are conveyed through different media. The medium affects
how the audience interacts with the message: having to sit in a dark theater with others versus
reading quietly at home. But the media doesn’t determine the outcomes. Not everyone who reads
books will need glasses before turning forty years old. Not everyone who watches movies will be
influenced in the same way.
While it is important to study what a particular media affords, we must avoid sliding into complete
determinism. Media and media technologies can have tremendous influence, but they are used by
humans in a wide variety of contexts. As such, we must remain cautious about claiming that any one
technology can determine how audiences or social practices will be influenced.
