Anthropology of technology

Anthropology of Technology is a way of studying how technology affects people’s lives. It looks at how technology is used, how it is designed, and how it changes the way people live and work. It also investigates how people use, create, and react to technology. Anthropologists study how technology is connected to our culture, and how people interact with technology in different workplaces and communities. They may ask questions like: How does technology shape people’s everyday lives? What are the different cultural practices and values related to technology? What changes do new technologies bring to our lives? What are the different impacts of technology on different communities? By studying anthropology of technology, we can better understand how technology influences our society and our everyday interactions.
