Our thesis is that all technical artefacts, from stone tools to cars
to computers, are "enactive interfaces" that mediate the structural coupling
between human beings and the world they live in, and hence bring forth
a particular world of lived experience. Thus, the perspective of enaction
provides a "middle way" that overcomes the twin pitfalls of a) underestimating
the social significance of technology considered as a mere means to a predefined
ends ; and b) overestimating the role of technology, by considering that
"machines" are animate entities with a will of their own that can dominate
mankind.
