不可否认，技术创新为我们的社会做出了深刻而神奇的贡献。然而，在动态文化中实施新的革命性工具会带来一些后果。例如，由于电子邮件，父母和祖父母担心今天的孩子在成长过程中不会欣赏老式的手写信件。短信和即时通讯创造了一种新的缩略语语言，令各地的英语教师担心，他们很难在最年轻的学生中培养和保持正确的语法和正确的英语。阻止这种技术现象渗透我们的社会是不可行的目标。但是，我们不应该轻视它们对社会的影响。我们需要考虑谁利用了这些技术，以及他们与这些技术的关系如何变化，以更好地了解它们的影响。界面和用户之间的关系不是单方面的。许多人错误地认为，技术已经轰炸了我们的社会，并强行进入我们的日常生活。相反，社会自由地接受了它，并允许它的作用增长是有原因的。技术与社会之间的这种动态关系对于理解文化变革如何影响技术以及我们的文化如何随着技术而演变的更广泛影响至关重要。计算机辅助设计（CAD）可以被视为这个时代的一项重要创新。CAD改变了设计行业的面貌，并影响了全球设计师和工程师的生活。
It is impossible to deny that technological innovations have made profound and miraculous contributions to our society. There are, however, consequences that come with implementing new and revolutionary tools in a dynamic culture. For example, because of e-mail, parents and grandparents fear that children today will not appreciate the experience of receiving old-fashioned, hand-written letters delivered in the mail as they grow up. Text messaging and instant messaging have created a new language of abbreviated words, worrying English teachers everywhere that the use of correct grammar and proper English will be difficult to nurture and preserve in their youngest students. To stop such technological phenomena from infiltrating our society is not a feasible goal. Still, we should not take their effect on society lightly. We need consider who has taken advantage of these technologies and how their relationship to these technologies has changed to better understand their impact. The relationship between the interface and its user is not one-sided. Many wrongly believe that technology has bombarded our society and forced its way into our daily lives. On the contrary; society has accepted it freely and allowed its role to grow for a reason. This dynamic relationship between technology and society is critical to an understanding of the broader implications of how cultural changes will affect technology and, conversely, how our culture will evolve with the technology. One technology that can be seen as an important innovation in this era is Computer-Aided Design (CAD). CAD has changed the face of the design industry and has influenced the lives of designers and engineers worldwide.
