We may use a knife to tighten a screw, turn an old washing machine drum into a fireplace, use the edge of a kitchen countertop to open a bottle, or place a hammer on the puncture patch glued to a bike's inner tube to exert pressure on the patch until the glue dries. How should we identify these objects? What functions do they have? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf we want to understand the role which material objects play in our everyday activities, we need to move away from universal identifications of objects. This is because universal identifications are not sensitive to contextual differences and cannot describe how each individual user connects to their surrounding objects in an infinite variety of contexts. \u003ci\u003eProblem-Solving Technologies\u003c\/i\u003e provides a user-friendly understanding of technological objects. This book develops a framework to characterise and categorize technological objects at the level of users' subjective experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sadjad Soltanzadeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538157896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538157893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Sadjad Soltanzadeh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45332028162303,"sku":"9781538157893","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de190fca-9854-4544-9ea6-b032b7b75a56.jpg?v=1713971545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/problem-solving-technologies-sadjad-soltanzadeh-9781538157893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
