Resumen:
In the last thirty years, Latin America has seen a significant growth in a set of approaches,schools of thought and social movements, which posit that is impossible toeffect a transformation in the region without processes focused on inclusionand democracy. Several decades were also devoted to reflecting on therelationship between technological innovation, development and socialinclusion. However, recent analyses on some of these trends reveal theexistence of linear and deterministic assumptions in the various models used toaddress the issue.Analyzing the technology-social inclusion relationshipimplies developing a heterogeneous theoretical approach, which makes itpossible to overcome linear approaches, top-down responses and isolatedsolutions. From theanalytical dimension to the regulatory, this work puts forward an inclusive andparticipatory development model.Unlike technological systems based on incomemaximization, private appropriation and benefit restriction, SocialTechnological Systems represent an intervention style promoting thesocialization of goods and services, the democratization of control anddecisions, and the empowering of communities. They are based on a systemicstrategic vision: new development paths, new ways of thinking about problemsand socio-technical solutions, new ways of exercising democracy.
