Résumé / Abstract
Technology adoption research has distinguished several models of human-technology relationships such as resistance or rejection, acceptance (Davis, 1985) and technosymbiosis (Licklider, 1960; Brangier & Hammes, 2006, 2007, 2011), the latter considers human-technology relationships through the ideas of co-evolution, capabilities extension and mutual dependence. This paper aims to show that those models are not stable over time; people change their model or transform it. With questionnaires completed by verbalizations used on a sample of 60 people, we were able to highlight different types of courses of technology relationships in which symbiosis often starts after a period of more than one year. It seems that symbiosis occurred when some factors are present: a positive attitude towards technologies, rich, but not too complex technology, capable of completing human abilities. The most decisive factor being the link created between human activity and technology.
