# Is the usage of technology in housing neutral?
During the last decade(s) rapidly shifting technological landscapes combined with the trends of financialization affected housing in myriads of ways. Although it is represented as such technology is not neutral and it has significant implications on social and economic relations including the implications on financial accumulation through extraction by means of technology as well as the housing governance including the processes of obscuring the human agency. Digital technology as well comprise a crucial terrain struggle over housing that has been emerging in the last years. Proposed material will help in opening the discussion about the politics of digital in housing, new forms of accumulation through tec as well as about new field of struggle that has to confront the operation of technology.
