Blurring of design and use Sample Clauses

Blurring of design and use. Climate services most often entail the use of technology to some degree: portals (Xxxxxxx et al. 2017: 29-37), data infrastructures (Xxxxxxx et al. 2017: 57- 59), apps (cf. below 4.2.2), and so on as forms of user-technology relationship. In various ways, the production and the consumption of goods, technologies, and services has been blurred in the past. There is the “creative capacity of users to shape technological development in all phases of […] innovation” (Oudshoorn/Pinch 2008: 554), which needs to be seen also regarding ser- vices that could over time face redefinition through what users really make out of it (and providers and purveyors would have to make sure they catch up with these developments). Moreover, there is hardly any actor that could claim to be provider or user only, since most providers themselves depend in some respect from what others provide them, and users can hardly avoid being providers of input (knowledge, data, values, funds, criteria of relevance, etc.) at some point of a service interaction (Xxxxxxx et al. 2017: 57-59). One might thus con- sider concepts of ‘use’ and ‘design’, ‘provision’ and ‘demand’ rather artificial; alternatively, Tof- fler (1980) introduced the concept of the active ‘prosumer’, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (2012) speaks of the ‘participating user’. Users may fear the complex science behind climate data, but it needs to be seen at which points and in which respects they (can) take the matters into their own hands during the further processes of climate service innovation and diffusion (most likely beyond the usual marketplace).
