GabaritoE — Errado
❌ ERRADO. The author does not regard technological determinism as a correct explanation. The text states that the importance of the notion lies not in its sophistication or utility but in its influence. Moreover, the author argues that technologies do not follow a predetermined course and that their impacts vary socially and culturally, directly contradicting technological determinism. Therefore, the statement is false.
Excerpt from the text:
"What is remarkable about the notion of technological determinism is neither its theoretical sophistication nor its explanatory utility." "The reality, of course, is that technologies do not, in practice, follow some pre-determined course of development." "Also, although technologies clearly have impacts, the nature of these is not built into the technology, but varies from one culture to another."
