TSES 3001 2022 Participation Week 10
In the Kranzberg’s Laws paper (Kranzberg, 1995 p. 5), Kranzberg
presents Lynn White Jr.’s “Door Metaphor”:
Lynn White, Jr. has said that a technical device [technology]
“merely opens a door, it does not compel one to enter.
In this
view, technology might be regarded as simply a means that
humans are free to employ or not, as they see fit - and White
recognizes that many nontechnical factors might affect that
decision. Nevertheless, several questions do arise. True, one is not
compelled to enter White’s open door, but an open door is an
invitation. Besides, who decides which doors to open - and, once
one has entered the door, are not one’s future directions guided
by the contours of the corridor or chamber into which one has
stepped? Equally important, once one has crossed the threshold,
can one turn back?” (Kranzberg, 1995, p 5)
