"Tesis ini memfokuskan pembahasan pada kekuatan yang dimiliki oleh teknologi dalam menentukan arah perkembangan kebudayaan manusia. Teknologi sebagai sebuah sistem terdiri dari manusia sebagai factor didalamnya, dan sebagai factor tersebut manusia tidak memiliki kekuasaan untuk secara menyeluruh mengontrol keseluruhan sistem teknologi sehingga teknologi kemudian berkembang secara otonom. Ketika manusia tidak memiliki control terhadap teknologi maka teknologi pun kemudian berkembang secara otonom, lalu implikasi dari perkembangan teknologi yang otonom tersebut kemudian membuat teknologi menjadi penggerak arah peradaban manusia karena kebudayaan manusia sangat bergantung terhadap teknologi untuk berkembang.

This thesis focused on the explanation of the power held by technology in directing the progress of human culture. Technology as a system consisted also by human in it, and as a mere factor, human are restrained from having full control on the whole system of technology and so the technology then goes on autonomously. The implications of technology being autonomous by the lack of human control is that technology therefore direct the progress of human civilization because human could not separate itself from technology."

"In this book the author uses the term naturoid to designate any real artifact arising from our attempts to reproduce natural instances.

"The philosopher, Luciano Floridi claims that these new technologies have led to a revolutionary shift in our understanding of humanity?s nature and its role in the universe. Florodi?s philosophical analysis of new technologies leads to a novel metaphysical framework in which our understanding of the ultimate nature of reality shifts from a materialist one to an informational one. In this world, all entities, be they natural or artificial, are analyzed as informational entities. This book provides critical reflection to this idea, in four different areas, information ethics and the method of levels of abstraction the information revolution and alternative categorizations of technological advancements applications, education, internet and information science epistemic and ontic aspects of the philosophy of information."

"The capability approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen places human capabilities at the centre stage of discussions about justice, equality, development and the quality of life. It rejects too much emphasis on mere preference satisfaction or resource provision and highlights the importance of human agency and freedom. This approach has already significantly influenced different fields of application, such as economics and development studies. Only recently have scholars started to explore its relevance for and application to the area of technology and design, which can be crucial factors in the expansion of human capabilities. How does technology influence human capabilities? What difference could a capability approach make to policies and practices of applying ICT in development processes in the South? How can we criticize and improve the design of technology from the perspective of the capability approach?The authors of this volume explore the implications of the capability approach for technology & design."
