A mi me gusta el termino "inovacion inducida". Como "invenciones", las TICs
fueron inducidos en el Norte, pero las "innovaciones TICs" en America
Latina responden a condiciones y politicas de las naciones de la region. Me
gusta lo que han dicho Marx y Smith (vea Robert McA. Adams, Paths of Fire:
An Anthropologists Inquiry into Western Technology)
"In spite of the existence of an engineering profession, technology is not
an Organized institution; it has no members or stated positions; nor does
it initiate actions. How can we reasonably think of this abstract,
disembodied, quasi-metaphysical entity, or one of its artifactual stand-ins
(e.g. the computer), as the initiator of actions capable of controlling
human destiny?"
