Is this a case of the innovation delusion? When safety and maintenance are secondary to an obsession with the new. Are we less safe and poorer as a result? @STS_News @RussellProf @Vestas @WorkSafe_Vic @DannyPearsonMP

@STS_News @LeapingRobot There's a fun rabbit hole to go down if you read papers by Louis Pouzin or Herbert Zimmermann about Cyclades, paired with a more recent John Day analysis about the flaws of Internet architecture, a la https://t.co/U8azx0OMbr

The Freakonomics Radio gang has reposted the 2016 episode, "In Praise of Maintenance," which featured @RussellProf, me, and . . . Ruth Cowan! That was a significant turning point for @The_Maintainers. A lot of people reached out to us after that.

How standards are set determines the standards we get.

New post on the newsletter today, "Start Where the Pain Is: Notes on Topic-Selection in Technology Studies," where I argue a driver of problems in technology studies is that folks tend to *start with technologies* when instead we should *start with pain*.

Thank you @ScienceMagazine for a generous review by Donna Riley of WICKED PROBLEMS: “Guru Madhavan offers a primer on…problem framing that are intended to empower both engineers and non-engineers as engaged civic actors.”

MiA is finding out if it really does maintain & fix something everyday of the year on Insta at #fixitis We were inspired by @FarnhamRepairC & @Fix_It_Workshop to explore further, our hunch that we probably do. From Jan 1, so far so fixed

US suburbs are a one life-cycle product that depend on new residents to cover their unsustainable maintenance costs.

After decades of kicking the can down the road, the early inner-ring suburbs are beginning to unravel.
