Technological Determinism

The one thing I can say about CMC is that it continues to evolve. Of the four core assumptions about TD, technological imperative fits the closest. CMC was and is inevitable, it is in progression, and you can't reverse it. Even if you could stop it, it would have a tremendous impact on how the world communicates. Mostly by putting us on hold. I believe in the positions on social constructivism, and social realism. I believe they go hand in and. The constructivist would argue that while technologies are not a necessity for social interaction, in the culture of business it would be imperative. As for the realist, since technology is ever evolving, it is because we DO understand the relationships between technology, culture, and social interaction. I would then say that the social realist is more align with the concept of technological imperative.
