How is technology made?--That is the question!
回顾了建构主义技术研究，特别是技术的社会建构（SCOT），通过分析其历史发展中的分析单位、方法论和研究问题，揭示这些研究在技术本体论上的相对主义立场，即不回答“技术是什么”，而是追踪“技术如何被制造”。
This article reviews constructivist technology studies, and especially the social construction of technology (SCOT). To investigate how these constructivist studies regard the ontology of technology, I will trace their historical development in units of analysis, methodological approaches and research questions. Constructivist technology studies are relativistic in only one sense: methodological. They are agnostic with respect to the ontology of technology. Constructivist studies of technology thus do not primarily answer the question 'what is technology?'; they trace the process 'how to make technology'. Copyright The Author 2009.
