This lecture explores the socio-technical assembly in society, focusing on moral education, conscience, and the impact of technical artifacts. It delves into the relationship between humans and technology, analyzing the role of moral prescriptions, education, and symbolic signs in shaping behavior. The instructor discusses the concept of pre-registration in individuals, the importance of moral conscience in decision-making, and the societal implications of technical devices. Through examples like the 'Gendarme Couché' and traffic code education, the lecture highlights the interplay between moral values, education, and societal norms in influencing human behavior within a socio-technical context.
