Notes
• There is no such thing as stupid question, stupid answer, and stupid opinion.
• Education 4.0:
• Your lecturer is your facilitator, not the main source of knowledge anymore.
• Student-centred method rather than teacher-centred.
• It is also mean that I am (and all of your lecturers are) not always right.
• You are required to do independent study e.g. not coming to class empty-headed.
• Some meetings will be conducted online.
• Liberal arts that use multi-perspective views.
• Feel free to disagree but please respect others who have different view(s).

Technology and
Governance
Meeting 1
Today’s learning outcomes
• By the end of the class, students are expected to understand the
philosophy of technology and governance.
• Students are expected to explain the definition of technology and
governance.
Technology
1. Humans’ ongoing use of tools and crafts to adapt and control their
environment.
2. Things that are developed and applied so that we can do things not
otherwise possible, so that we can do our job cheaper, faster, and
easier. And of course, doing them better.
Scarcity
• Energy
• Time
• Money
• Human resources/labours
• Space
• Physical ability
• Psychological ability
What other people misunderstand
• Technologies are more than just the material tools and artifacts that
are used to do something.
• ???
Technologia
• Techne: skills, art, or craft.
• Logia: understanding of
something, a branch of
knowledge.
• MORE THAN JUST MACHINES!
If internet is defined as machine…
What needs to be added in technology
definition?
• Social contexts and social circumstances
• Psychical objects + human activities
• Example: internet covers activities that the users engage in online –
culture that surrounds these social activities, knowledge that results
from these activities
Technologies are constitutive tools: they do not simply
support predetermined courses of action, but open up new
spaces of action.
Political aspect
• Technologies are not merely neutral.
• Choices and opportunities to offer for social and natural change.
• Can also limit choices and opportunities that some individual posses.
Political aspect
• Connected with pre-existing organisations.
• Technologies do not always allow people to work more efficiently, or
support people in doing what they want.
• Have unexpected and unintended consequences.
To govern is to shape and regulate social order.

However, governing is not a task carried out by a single body.
Governing is shared by a variety of agencies.
Governance: messy, multi-leveled, reticular exercise of power

Government: centralized, linear portion of rule which

fails to capture complexity of the contemporary polity
Governance is ‘the historically constituted matrix within which are articulated
dreams, schemes, strategies and maneuvers of authorities that seek to shape
the beliefs and conduct of others in desired directions by acting upon their
will, their circumstances or their environment’ (Rose and Miller 1992).
Governance embraces a range of social projects, from the
construction of ‘the good citizen’ to the daily disciplining
undesirable behaviours.
Electronic
• using, based on, or used
in a system of operation • relating to computers or
that involves the control something that is done
of electric current by by computers
various devices (Cambridge)
(Cambridge)

• carried out or accessed

by means of a computer
• relating to electrons
or other electronic
(Oxford)
device, especially over a
network (Oxford)
E-governance entails the digitised coding,
processing, storage and distribution of data
relating to three key aspects of governing
societies: the representation and regulation
of social actors; the delivery of public
services; and the generation and circulation
of official information (Coleman, 2010).
Who’s the “governance” in e-Governance
• All legal, political, and administrative organizations, and
their people, that control a state
• Legislators: responsible for writing and passing laws and
regulations. Power arises either directly through policy
referenda or indirectly through elected representatives
that debate and vote in parliament
• Administrators: has the authority and responsibility for
the daily administration of the state.
• Arbitrators: neither make nor enforce, interprets law
and applies it to the facts of each case.
• Public: includes business sector, non-profit sector,
informal sector, citizens
 • Datafication

• Digitisation

Internet of Things
• Computerisation

• Electrification
