You need to understand where the technology is needed and who will benefit from it.
So far, we have experienced that technology generated by theory alone does not work in the actual field. The reason for this is that before the technology was developed, we did not fully understand the field where the technology was required or the people who were to benefit from it. There is significance in social scientists specializing in anthropology to also collaborate in research from its developmental stage.
