Don Ihde (b 1934)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Ihde#Postphenomenology

Don Ihde uses the theoretical tools of phenomenology to analyse technology, and specifically the relations between humans and technological artefacts.[4] Rather than thinking about technology as an abstract category, postphenomenological analysis looks at actual artefacts and the way they interact with users.[4] Technologies, according to this view, mediate our relationship to the world, influencing the way we see it, understand it, act on it.[4] Other important authors in the field of postphenomenology are Peter-Paul Verbeek and Robert Rosenberger.
