role played by technology in producing social change.
迷惑项是E，the role of business,not mentioned.

pterosaur

定位：The constructivists gain acceptance
by misrepresenting technological deter-
minism:  technological determinists are
supposed to believe, for example, that
machinery imposes appropriate forms
of order on society.  从constructivist的观点来描述determinist的观点肯定是不准确的，所以用 supposed to believe，表示的是一种假设。A

Clark的观点: Clark makes the point that the char-
(10) acteristics of a technology have a
decisive influence on job skills and
work organization.
--> 科技会影响job skills and work organization


CS用来误解TD的观点：The alternative to
constructivism, in other words, is to
view technology as existing outside
(40) society, capable of directly influencing
skills and work organization(逻辑主语：technology).
--> 不大明白的是“科技的确会影响job skills and work organization”，这就是CS的观念，何来误解之说呢？

这篇文章 是我在OG上 唯一没看懂的一篇

127我觉得并不是那么简单，我刚开始错误地选择了A，Clark的观点就是为了反驳Braverman的甚至120的正确答案也是为了这篇文章是驳斥constructivist的view的。


后来想了下，问题就出在braveman不能代表所有的constructivist阿！常见的逻辑谬误了。。。
