• Mobility: an extended perspective (2002, background): “It is therefore important to recognize that the fundamental nature of technological revolution in the late twentieth century is the dynamic and complex interaction between old and new technologies and mutual shaping between the reconfiguration of the technological fabric and its domestication [7, 36”
• The mobile phone, perpetual contact and time pressure (2009, background): “Moreover, these findings confirm the more general proposition of science and technology studies that the everyday uses of technology cannot simply be extrapolated from the qualities of a device (Haddon, 2004; MacKenzie and Wajcman, 1999; Oudshoorn and Pinch, 2003).”
• Mobile Social Networks and Social Practice: A Case Study of Dodgeball (2007, background): “The social shaping of technology literature also suggests that the assumptions, expectations, and needs of early users shape future normative use of technology (e.g., Bijker, Hughes, & Pinch, 1987; MacKenzie & Wajcman, 2002).”
• FROM WOMEN AND TECHNOLOGY TO GENDERED TECHNOSCIENCE (2007, background): “Rather, the broad social shaping or constructivist approach treats technology as a sociotechnical product – a seamless web or network combining artefacts, people, organizations, cultural meanings and knowledge (Bijker et al. 1987; Law & Hassard 1999; MacKenzie & Wajcman 1999).”
• Media Literacy and the Challenge of New Information and Communication Technologies (2004, background): “Although advocates of the “changing literacies” view appear to endorse technological determinism, careful reading repudiates simple causal claims regarding the impact of technology on society (MacKenzie & Wajcman, 1999).”
• Behavioural responses to photovoltaic systems in the UK domestic sector (2007, positive): “A more moderate interpretation of this debate is that social scientists have simply spent too much time and effort examining the impact of technology on society and should also consider how society shapes technology (MacKenzie and Wajcman 1999).”
• Tussle in cyberspace: defining tomorrow's Internet (2002, background): “In this view, society is not an external framework into which people and technologies are embedded, but is exactly the artifact that results from the ongoing experimentation, tussle or alignment of all the actors that participate in it [5].”
• Critical Race Theory for HCI (2020, background): “Extrapolating Winner’s proposition that artifacts carry politics [136], it seems abundantly clear that in a world where racism is ordinary, racism in its technologies is also ordinary.”
