The school of thought called postphenome-nology has proven useful for articulating the details the relationships that people develop with technologies, from everyday media to laboratory instrumentation. Here, I review some of the cutting-edge ideas coming from this group of thinkers. This includes ideas about how to conceive of technologies that alter our abilities to perceive or act on the world, and how to think about technologies that are used differently by different users. I also consider how these ideas can be inte-grated into STS investigations into technolo-gies, especially those of the actor-network theory, social construction of technology, and script theory perspective.
