As decades and centuries pass, technology evolves. Machines become more efficient and communication between places becomes easier. Because of this, the process of doing things changes. Especially with the advent of the Internet, it is important to understand and delve deeper into the effects of technology on society, as it is “complexly intertwined with the circumstances and rhythms of social life” (Gasher, Skinner, & Lorimer, 2012, p. 155). For this reason there are different perspectives on the technology. These perspectives, as demonstrated by Andrew Feenberg (1999) in Questioning Technology, are: instrumentalism, determinism, substantivism, constructivism, and critical theory. Being a socio-technical whole, the smartphone is an example of technology. The railway did not introduce movement, transportation, wheel or road into human society, but it accelerated and expanded the scale of previous human functions, creating totally new types of cities and new types. of work and free time. (McLuhan, 1964, p. 8) It addresses the machine as the subject of an active predicate, which is often used in the popular discourse of technological determinism as a means of presenting a complex event as an inevitable and plausible outcome of a technological innovation (Marx, 1994, p. However, a limitation usually attributed to this perspective is that it often fails to consider human action and its contributions, especially towards technological progress. While technological determinism can be considered neutral or slightly optimistic, substantivism is a related perspective that considers how technology frames and influences humanity, often to its detriment. This perspective follows the same view that technology progresses without human direction, but with the addition of the idea that technology maintains a position of power, since society is structured around it.
