Abstract

As 21st century society has evolved into a technology-centric society, the impact of innovative technologies on society continues to increase. The importance of innovative technologies to society is evidenced by the existence of various analytical methods, study results and actors. When we analyze the impact of technology on society, we often predict its future impact based on how technology has affected past and present trends in society. Analysis on the impact of technology on current trends in society is usually conducted by experts, but users, developers, or citizens might also participate. This study proposes an analytical framework termed ‘Socio-Technology Analysis and Prescriptions’ (STAP) that can be used to analyze the impact of innovative technologies on society and prescribes solutions to any associated problems in order to contribute to a sustainable society.
