"No-Matter-What" & Bruno Latour, Where are the missing masses? The sociology of a few mundane artifacts, 1992 in: Object Reader, p. 229-254

Latour's notion of artifacts

flat look at human and thing (equal)
technology has profound impact on sociality
"The bizarre idea that society might be made up of human relations is a mirror image of the other no less bizarre idea that techniques might be made up of nonhuman relations"
"any artifact is only a portion of a program of action and of the fight necessary to win against many antiprograms"

Draw two columns:

in the left-hand column write down the gentle pushing (or pulling) they have to do to fulfil the same tasks)

in the right-hand column, list the work people would have to do if they had no door
