Last weekend, I was walking through a flea market and saw typesetting equipment for sale as home kitsch. That was tool was someone's livelihood, now it is a wall hanging. A single individual was the last person to own it as a tool. What happened to that person when the business changed? Did he or she consider themselves a typesetter (wedded to a technology) or person who brought books into the world (wedded to a process)?This applies to the science of psychology. The tachistoscope is well on its way to kitsch. How long for the fMRI scanner?
Do you define your job as a technology or a process?
