In discussing the concept of active participation, the literature review specifies three kinds of relationships that can be established between technology developers and users, and suggests that such relationships have an ethical dimension. In your own words, describe the three kinds of relationships mentioned in the text. Then answer these questions.

• Do you agree that merely gathering data from users is ethically insufficient because it doesn't really include them actively in technology development? Why or why not?

• Do you think technical communicators have an ethical responsibility to include users more fully in the process of technology production? Why or why not?
