+### Practice theory
+
+</summary>
+
+Practice theory was developed with sociology and anthropology from about 1970 onwards, though it has now spread to many other fields. The main purpose of practice theory is to combine the agency of people and social groups with the structures of modern society, including technologies, laws, and organisations. This was introduced in ‘What is (a) Digital Society?’ but underlies many other course and literature. Practice theory is a direct challenge to technological determinism as it recognises how people both shape and are shaped by technologies.
