abstract:In the philosophy of technology, the device paradigm is the way "technological devices" are perceived and consumed in modern society, according to Albert Borgmann. He introduced the term to help in understanding the nature of modern technology.
An alternative view is that California tech companies are stuck in the deviceparadigm and seriously need to look at new ways of using sensor technology.
Very rarely does a new device outside the traditional technology paradigm appear in Silicon Valley, and Google Glass represents one such archetypal shift.
