description | This article proposes to begin with what are known as science, technology and society studies (STS) as a way to problematize information and communication technologies (ICTs), their vision of progress and their association with the development discourse. In these studies, technology is understood as a social construction. Said focus can help us to think about the central elements that should be taken into account when reflecting on and studying the self-styled ICT networks for development in the Ecuadorian case. |

Este artículo propone como vía para problematizar las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC), su visión de progreso y asociación con el discurso del desarrollo partir de los llamados estudios de ciencia, tecnología y sociedad (CTS). Estudios dentro de los cuales la tecnología se entiende como construcción social. Dicho enfoque nos puede ayudar a pensar los elementos centrales que deben tomarse en cuenta a la hora de reflexionar e investigar sobre las autodenominadas redes de TIC para el desarrollo en el caso ecuatoriano.
