Cultural Impact on Tool Usage
The usage of a tool like email is not predetermined by its design, but rather shaped by the cultural context in which it is deployed. The cultural impact on tool deployment is often unintentional and dynamic, influenced by the interactions between the tool and the culture using it. This dynamic interaction leads to pseudo determinism where the tool's impact is unpredictable and not intentional. Therefore, it is crucial not to view the effects of a tool as inherent or unavoidable, but instead, recognize the influence of cultural dynamics on how tools impact lives, organizations, and communities.
