Abstract
This paper argues for and illustrates how the StructurANTion theoretical framework can provide insight into the nature and development of computing. It seeks to develop a combination of two conceptualizations of technology and action, namely structuration theory (ST) and actor network theory (ANT). Introducing the concept of the melded "humanchine," this paper then proposes a modeling technique suited to the development of more socially aware computing. Using the example of the nomadic clinical practice, we explore the concept of the humanchine structurated network.
