This paper investigates an adequate methodology for examining social and ethical dimensions of technology, highlighting the significant role of intentionality in the ontology of technology. The paper argues that since technology deeply embedded in socio-technical systems, it is influenced by artefacts, human actors, values, norms, practices, and institutions. Explaining the social and ethical aspects of technology requires a methodology that respects its intentional aspect and accounts for the interactions between artefacts, institutions, and human agents. We propose that institutional individualism, which emphasizes the significance of individual agency within institutional frameworks serves as a suitable approach. Additionally, we explore the philosophical implications of adopting this methodology, including its impact on moral responsibility. The paper concludes that although moral responsibility still rests on individuals, a balanced approach to the ethics of technology should not overlook the influence of institutions on individual actions. Ethical education should be promoted both at the individual level and within the institutions involved in technology.
