"The word “concretization” is generally used in regard to the evolution of technological artefacts. It is not concerned with concretization in terms of its common sense usage or etymological history, such as “to make” something “real”, “tangible”, or “specific”. Nor is concretization meant to represent Something like that which is implied by the sentence “the concretization of an abstraction”. Rather, concretization is a useful concept for thinking technological artefacts and their evolution over time. It is offered as a concept that can be put to work in thinking about technological things. Concretization deals with the ontological engineering of technical artefacts and, as such, it is closely tied to reality and all of the minute technical details that researchers and philosophers use to confront it." (p.86)
