Exploration of Concretization and Evolution of Technical Objects
The chapter delves into the concept of concretization using examples like the still suit, discussing the evolution of technical objects from fabric to resistant materials for water harvesting. They examine the influence of consumerism on innovation, the role of leaps in technological evolution, and the comparison between natural and technical objects. The conversation concludes with reflections on Don's critique of automatons and cybernetics' focus on feedback in shaping technical objects.
