在这里，节奏被认为是一种新的方式来识别或构建技术发展中的相似性（包含相似性和差异性的家庭或模式）。以主要来自信息技术发展分析的例子为例，节奏被认为是鼓励更广泛和更深入地重新描述技术发展理论的一种方式。从更广泛的意义上说，节奏的概念可以包含我们对不同层次和不同技术的技术发展的思考方式。更深层的意义是，节奏的概念指导了这些分析的理论研究，超越了对技术发展时间模式描述的比较，而是比较了每一种分析中“驱动”时间模式的基本理论装置。
Rhythm is presented here as a new way of recognising or framing resemblances (a family or pattern which contains both similarities and differences) among the ways a number of different people have analysed the development of technology. Taking examples primarily from analyses of the development of information technology, rhythm is presented as a way of encouraging both a wider and a deeper redescription of theories of technological development. Wider in the sense that the concept of rhythm can embrace the way we think about technological development at different levels as well as for different technologies. Deeper in the sense that the concept of rhythm has guided the theoretical investigation of these analyses beyond a comparison of their descriptions of the time pattern of technological development, to comparing the underlying theoretical device or devices which 'drive' the time pattern in each of the analyses.
