The philosophy of technology is the philosophical investigation of artefacts, systems, and the practices they sustain. It is younger than most of philosophy and older than most of computing — its modern form took shape in the mid-20th century, when Heidegger, Ellul, and Mumford each independently concluded that the technological systems of industrial modernity had begun to reshape the humans inside them.
