| Tiivistelmä: | The design of large-scale technological systems is taken up and the focus is on the fact that such design is necessarily of, by, and for people. The design of technology is ultimately design of people's relationships to each other, is influenced by many people, and can only be justified as being done for people. Four fundamental dilemmas of the role of people in the system design process are discussed, namely free will versus determinism, new technology versus user alienation, objectivity versus advocacy, and reliability versus creativity. An appropriate position for the system designer is proposed for each dilemma. |
