תקציר	Domestication of technology analysis studies how people 'tame' new technologies—turning a strange, commercially loaded object into a familiar, taken-for-granted part of everyday life. Developed by Roger Silverstone and colleagues to understand media and information technologies in the home, it treats consumption not as a single moment of purchase but as an ongoing process through which artefacts are appropriated, given a place, woven into routines, and made to express identity. The household is analysed as a 'moral economy' that negotiates the meaning and use of every technology that crosses its threshold.	The Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) is a constructivist framework holding that technological artefacts are shaped by the interpretations and negotiations of relevant social groups rather than by technical logic alone. Introduced by Trevor Pinch and Wiebe Bijker in 1984, it shows that an artefact has 'interpretive flexibility'—different groups see different problems and solutions in it—until a process of closure stabilises one design as the obvious one.
