What Things Do : Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design
Our modern society is flooded with all sorts of devices: TV sets, automobiles, microwaves, mobile phones.How are all these things affecting us? How can their role in our lives be understood? What Things Do answers these questions by focusing on how technologies mediate our actions and our perceptions of the world.Peter-Paul Verbeek develops this innovative approach by first distinguishing it from the classical philosophy of technology formulated by Jaspers and Heidegger, who were concerned that technology would alienate us from ourselves and the world around us.Against this gloomy and overly abstract view, Verbeek draws on and extends the work of more recent philosophers of technology like Don Ihde, Bruno Latour, and Albert Borgmann to present a much more empirically rich and nuanced picture of how material artifacts shape our existence and experiences.In the final part of the book Verbeek shows how his “postphenomenological” approach applies to the technological practice of industrial designers.Its systematic and historical review of the philosophy of technology makes What Things Do suitable for use as an introductory text, while its innovative approach will make it appealing to readers in many fields, including philosophy, sociology, engineering, and industrial design.

Design Driven Innovation : Changing the Rules of Competition by Radically Innovating What Things Mean
Until now, the literature on innovation has focused either on radical innovation pushed by technology or incremental innovation pulled by the market.In Design-Driven Innovation: How to Compete by Radically Innovating the Meaning of Products, Roberto Verganti introduces a third strategy, a radical shift in perspective that introduces a bold new way of competing.Design-driven innovations do not come from the market; they create new markets.They don't push new technologies; they push new meanings. It's about having a vision, and taking that vision to your customers.Think of game-changers like Nintendo's Wii or Apple's iPod.They overturned our understanding of what a video game means and how we listen to music.Customers had not asked for these new meanings, but once they experienced them, it was love at first sight. But where does the vision come from? With fascinating examples from leading European and American companies, Verganti shows that for truly breakthrough products and services, we must look beyond customers and users to those he calls "interpreters" - the experts who deeply understand and shape the markets they work in. Design-Driven Innovation offers a provocative new view of innovation thinking and practice.

Technology Ethics : Responsible Innovation and Design Strategies
Technologies cannot simply be understood as neutral tools or instruments; they embody the values of their creators and may unconsciously reinforce existing inequalities and biases. Technology Ethics shows how responsible innovation can be achieved.Demonstrating how design and philosophy converge, the book delves into the intricate narratives that shape our understanding of technology – from instrumentalist views to social constructivism.Yet, at its core, it champions interactionalism as the most promising and responsible narrative.Through compelling examples and actionable tools this book unravels the nuances of these philosophical positions, and is tailored to foster responsible innovation and thoughtful design.As our everyday lives further intertwine with technology, understanding and implementing these design principles becomes not just beneficial, but essential. This concise and accessible introduction is essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy of technology, engineering ethics, science and technology studies, and human–machine communication, as well as policymakers.

Makerspaces, Innovation and Science Education : How, Why, and What For?
This book provides an overview to a range of theories in science and technology that inform the different ways in which makerspaces can be educative.Makerspaces are an indispensable site for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction and pose novel risks and opportunities for STEM instruction.Educators are likely to reach towards activities that have a high degree of engagement, but this might result in observations like 'it looks like fun, but what are they learning?'. Beginning from the question of how we know what we know in science, the author asserts that understanding scientific knowledge requires us to know more than the abstract concepts typically presented in schools.The social and material aspects of knowledge are also important—these take the form of questions such as: What is the interplay between knowledge and power?How do we understand that we can have a ‘feel’ for materials and artefacts that we cannot completely describe in words?How do we know what ideas ought to be made real though technology and engineering?Significantly, this book also discusses the ethical dimensions of STEM education, in thinking about the kinds of STEM education that could be useful for open futures. This book will be useful to graduate students and educators seeking an expansive view of STEM education.More generally, these ideas outline a possible new strategy for a vision of school that is not merely training or preparing students for work.Education needs to also prepare students for sociopolitical participation, and with STEM being central to our contemporary lives, this book provides insights for how this can happen in makerspaces.
