技術哲學可以追溯到西方哲學的開端,古希臘人關於技術(英語:technology,古希臘語詞根:techne)有過一些討論。[1]「技術哲學」一詞的使用則可以追溯到19世紀時德國出生的哲學家和地理學家恩斯特·卡普,他的作品《技術哲學原理》(德語:Grundlinien einer Philosophie der Technik)。[2][3]
技術決定論 is the idea that "features of technology [determine] its use and the role of a progressive society was to adapt to [and benefit from] technological change."[8] The alternative perspective would be social determinism which looks upon society being at fault for the "development and deployment"[9] of technologies. Lelia Green(英語:Lelia Green) used recent gun massacres such as the Port Arthur Massacre and the 鄧伯蘭完全中學校園大屠殺 to selectively show technological determinism and 社會決定論. According to Green, a technology can be thought of as a neutral entity only when the sociocultural context and issues circulating the specific technology are removed. It will be then visible to us that there lies a relationship of social groups and power provided through the possession of technologies.
