Karsten Weber, Co-head of the Institute for Social Research and Technology Assessment}} "//But when they came to letters, This, said Theuth, will make the Egyptians wiser and give them better memories; it is a specific both for the memory and for the wit. Thamus replied: O most ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them.//" [[http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/phaedrus.html|Platon, Phaedrus 474]].

This can be seen as a principle of technology assessment: Developing and using technology is one thing, assessing it in terms of its consequences is another. At the [[https://www.oth-regensburg.de/ist/|Institute for Social Research and Technology Assessment (IST)]] and the [[en:late|Laboratory for Technology Assessment and Applied Ethics (LaTE)]] we have made it our mission to make a contribution to technology assessment and participatory technology design in the context of [[projekte|research projects]], [[publikationen|publications]], [[vortraege|lectures]] und [[veranstaltungen|public events]], and of course also in [[lehrveranstaltungen|teaching]].
